Finally – yes, we’ve noticed what you’ve noticed. There are no men in the line-up. This isn’t because we don’t want men to enter our competitions, and in fact several men have won the Exeter Story Prize and Trisha Ashley Award, including Simon Kettlewell, Daniel Murphy and Richard Buxton. Please check out our winners pages to see that we’re not gender-biased, honestly! http://www.creativewritingmatters.co.uk/our-winners.html
So, any gentlemen reading this, do have a look at our website, especially our winners pages, and believe we want to hear from you too.
Good luck, everyone!
