THE 2nd QUARTER WINNERS ARE
1st Place — Patty Jansen of New South Wales, Australia
2nd Place — Ben Mann of West Australia
3rd Place — Van Aaron Hughes of Colorado
Some special Vegemite congrats to Patty and Ben (and of course Van)! More in the write-up here:
Thanks for the note Jason! What better in the belated congrats than a belated comment – and another belated congrats for The House of the Nameless. I’m still astonished at just how big an opportunity WotF represents for new writers in our genre, and thrilled that something like this is open to an international authors.
Thanks man 🙂 it was an amazing experience Ben, enjoy every minute. There is quite simply nothing else like this around in SF writing, and it’s not every day you get treated like a rock star for writing a short genre piece. WOTF is extremely cool!
