What's next?
Well the entries are all in - around 500 this year this year - well up on last year.
We're going to shut ourselves away now and read them all, so I won't have much to say for the next few weeks.
The plan is as follows:
- By the end of May we will let everyone know who didn't make it through the First Sift.
- By Early July we will be able to let everyone know who hasn't made the Shortlist.
- In Mid July we'll hold workshops for the shortlisted writers.
- In Late July we'll hold interviews and the final selection of eight writers will be made.
I'll report back at the various stages, and announce the final eight on this blog.
