Prepare to be spellbound by our shortlisted writers, as they read out their stories and poems on this year’s theme, Adventure! Our wonderfully supportive and encouraging judges are: award-winning children’s author Maisie Chan, whose debut novel, Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths, won the Jhalak Prize in 2022; writer Kirsten MacQuarrie, whose work has been published by New Writing Scotland, Gutter Magazine and Edinburgh Literary Salon; and GWL’s own Librarian, Wendy Kirk. 

Winners will be announced on the night and prizes include a one-to-one mentoring session with one of our

judges and book vouchers.
