Delighted to be on the longlist for this! Some shortlist to a brilliant prize.

A truly special issue.

Delighted to get home and find this beauty waiting for me! Honoured to be part of it, sharing the pages with so many I admire! Just having a glass of wine to read through it now! Thanks to Mary O'Donnell for putting together such a gorgeous issue.

Ate this right up! Completely blew me away. Sad it has ended but know it’ll be one I’ll reread in years to come.

'Stellar Line-up' = sounds accurate!
