It has been a tense and dramatic wait since May 9, when our inaugural UoG Novel Writing Contest <\/a>closed its doors to submissions.\u00a0 The filter judges have now had time to consider the submissions, and we are ready to announce the shortlist of six entrants.\u00a0 Cue the drum-roll please…and the shortlist (in alphabetical order by novel title) is:<\/p>\n

‘Churchill’ by Sleiman El Hajj
\n‘The Good Housewife’s Frontal Lobotomy’ by Jane Durston
\n‘The Making of Robin Mountjoy’ by Sue Pearce
\n‘Matlock’ by Duncan Dicks
\n‘Things We Should Have Done’ by Hayley Barnes
\n‘Vid[dot]mov’ by Emmy Summers<\/p>\n

Congratulations to our shortlisted entrants, and thank you to all for submitting.\u00a0 These six pieces will now be forwarded to literary agent Becky Thomas<\/a>, at the Fox Mason Agency<\/a>.\u00a0 Becky and her team will read them and choose the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize winners.\u00a0 Since we like a bit of drama, we’ll be announcing the results at a ceremony in the autumn – one that could potentially coincide with the launch of the latest UoG writing anthology, Carnival<\/a>.\u00a0 Watch this space!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
