Cheshirenovelprizekidssnippetsfirstlines YA: ✂️✂️✂️ At first, he didn’t notice. He’d been hunched over his bag, trying to tie the brown-feathered fly to the nylon line with fingers that were slow and clumsy with the cold.

#Cheshirenovelprizekidssnippetsfirstlines ✂️✂️✂️ YA: When Stevie first saw Nathan Kingsland she noticed three things about him: his quiff, his dark green eyes, & the fact that a piece of his left ear was missing at the top leaving a jagged edge where the rounded curve should be
Here we go: #Cheshirenovelprizekidssnippetsfirstlines ✂️✂️✂️ MG: Every morning, Etta crept through the house to check whether any new cracks had appeared in the walls.

50-year-olds going home to hone their writing skills.
This is what a group of over 50s looked like last night. We clearly didn’t get the memo about how we’re meant to present 🙄👵🏻
This grant is for writers over 50. Look at the image.
