Members News - Magser makes the cut with killer story

Posted 26-05-2011 980 reads Comments: 28

Congratulations to Writing4all Member, Margaret Zheng, on making it onto the Tipperary Excel Short Story Competition shortlist.  Her story, 'Murder of Crows' impressed the judges but just missed out on the top three.

Regardless, Margaret "wants everyone to know that we are all capable of getting our work recognised."

Hear, hear!

Helen:  Thank you so much for your kind congrats.  I have not bothered about getting my work published: it takes so much effort so this is my first outside acknowledgement of my work.  I just hope that it might spur people to seek to do the same.  I will try now and do more competitions.  Margaret

Dear Tom.  Just as well I did not win - you might have been hauled up for support. Margaret x

I wouldn't mind being hauled up, that was a great story told in a very original way. I'm glad others see the creativity in it
