Which, as I’m sure you’ll agree, is a serious amount of squids. Think of all the ink you could buy. So, come on in, and hear the traditional ‘YOU’RE ALL WINNERS SONG’, listen to Sarah Lewis from Writers HQ pick a winner, some runner-uppers and a couple of honourable mentions to boot and then follow that up by immersing yourself in the unbelievably high quality of 1st, 2nd & 3rd place. But before you do all that…  just think.  One of them could be yours! There’s only one way to find out though, and I’m not daft enough to give the game away and write them here in the show notes…  so you’d best get listening instead. Big thanks again to Sarah and the excellent Writers HQ: https://writershq.co.uk Also a massive thanks to our amazing competition sponsor - the esteemed writing app, Scrivener! Don't forget to pick up your copy NOW. Go to https://www.literatureandlatte.com/ - use the code failing & you can get 20% off! Whoop. Get in! Early Christmas present to yourself. And finally... huge congratulations to our winner. Whoever that might be. And don’t forget to join us next week, when we’ll be hearing more First Class, A-Grade, Top Shelf….  Flash Gorge-uns.
