I was delighted to hear that The String Games has been longlisted in The People’s Book Prize fiction category. This is a national award that finds and promotes new and undiscovered work. One of the organisation’s aims is to support the complete eradication of illiteracy. This is something very important to me as, following years of working with parents and children to build their literacy skills, there is still a need in communities for further work. In this longlisting, I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect match: an opportunity to gain a wider readership for The String Games and connect with a cause close to my heart.
To reach the next stage of the competition depends on public support. I hope you feel able to support me by voting for The String Games to become a finalist in the fiction category. It’s easy to vote, just click here to leave your details, tick yes or no to receive the newsletter then submit. If you’d like to leave a comment that would be a bonus. The opening chapter of The String Games is available to read here.
Thank you for your help. The String Games has important messages to share about how it’s possible to come to terms with challenges in life. It’s a story about fresh starts and new beginnings which readers find empowering.
the writer is a lonely hunter 
I voted! But they only allow you to vote once. Best of luck, Gail!!
If The String Games makes it into the finals, you can vote again then.
I will do that. Gladly!!
Hi Gail -I think the grid looks v useful for flash. The unsaid/ half- said is so important. Thanks for sharing it.
