Write North West

In 2012 Dr. Ursula Hurley, together with colleagues at the University of Salford, read and judged the submissions to a collection to highlight North West writing talent , the idea stemmed from a ‘Writing and the Small Press’ conference in March of that year and what followed was also to celebrate small-press publishers... This fascinating anthology is the result. It is not just poetry but a collection of new writing talent; short stories, essays, poems... and the 'winners' were as follows: First Prize: Dare – Sarah Leigh, Second Prize: The Arndale Peregrine – David Keyworth and Third Prize: Dusty Diaries – Alan Butterworth but in truth this collection is filled with gems that make me proud to be part of the North West... (Perfect bound, A5, 144 pages) A TRUE bargain for those interested in tracking the up-and-coming talent.
