Members Doing Their Best!

The Society’s annual prize giving ceremony on 20 March was a highly enjoyable occasion, with competition winners, judges and members coming together to enjoy afternoon tea and celebrate some wonderful writing achievements. A full report, with photos, the winning entries in full and extracts from all the runners-up, will appear in The Woman Writer, due to be delivered to members in early April. After tea, our guest speaker, bestselling saga writer Elaine Everest, told us about her path to success, from article writing to non-fiction books and short stories to novels, with some competition wins along the way, her mantra throughout echoing the Brownies promise ‘to do my best’. Certainly all our prize winners had given us their best! We now look ahead to a brand new ‘paperless’ competition, open to members and non-members alike, which will be launched via social media on our 125th anniversary on 1 May.
