Results of Ted Jones Short Story Competition 2022

The visiting judges from Wokingham Writers (Keith Sheppard and Heather Boncey) gave an insight into how they judged the stories, and then a paragraph of commentary on each one. They praised the overall quality of the stories, and were impressed how differently the theme of “Then the stranger arrived” was interpreted by all the entries.
