Terry introduced our judge for the short story competition - Melanie Gow the editor of online Beat Magazine. The theme was Identity and she said she had very much enjoyed judging. She gave us two handouts with quotes from Kurt Vonnecot and Joseph O'Connor. Her comments were many and varied .She had read a story every day and gave herself time to think about each one in depth. She emphasised that point of view is important but limits perspective. Detail is all- important for interest.
