Feeling very honoured to be one of twenty or so runners up. Looking forward to meeting the winner and other runners-up and reading their work. My story, Atacama, is now being proof read for inclusion in Words and Women's third annual anthology which will be launched in Norwich on International Women's Day.http://wordsandwomennorwich.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/sarah-evans-wins-our-prose-competition.html

Following early success in a road safety essay competition at primary school (prize awarded by a clown - enough to put anyone off!), I had poetry published in the Gilberd's school magazine. At sixteen I joined a poetry society in what was then a flourishing adult education sector. Fast forward through bringing up four children to recent years when I have found a balance between working in education and writing.

I am a Creative Writing tutor for the National Extension College.
