I received an email from SME News in June this year saying The Writer is a Lonely Hunter had been nominated in the Southern Enterprise Awards 2025 . The nomination was based on my ‘impactful storytelling and dedication to community engagement through writing’. I looked into the organisation and decided to proceed. A couple of months later, I was told that following merit-led research and evaluation my blog had been recognised as the deserving recipient of the Best Literary Writing Blog Award 2025.
I accepted a complimentary package which involves a listing in the Hall of Fame (which you can see above). There are very many categories in the Hall of Fame so I’m not sure how much of an accolade this really is… but I’m willing to accept any encouragement!
Have you been nominated for an SME award? Do tell all!
