Mike Pearcy's Narrow Winding Way was short listed.
At our meeting on 2nd December 2013 former Slough Writers member Sara Waddington was the judge. She began by telling the group how being a member gave her a good grounding in writing before becoming an editorial assistant and then editor on several specialist magazines. She now produces magazines for a variety of companies.
Sara said that she enjoyed reading the articles and learnt a lot about a range of topics. The layout of the articles was varied and some included sidebars and subheadings. She judged the articles on originality, appeal for publication, style of writing, grammar and punctuation. Sara read her comments on all the articles before giving the results.
