SHORTLISTED FOR A WRITING COMPETITION!


It brings me so much joy to announce that my upcoming novel, The Fisherman's Daughter, has been shortlisted for The Book Challenge 2025, a new writing competition by Pen to Print!

Pen to Print have been such a gem to discover! I've really enjoyed their creative writing, and poetry, courses, and The Book Challenge 2025 was the cherry on top!


Being shortlisted means:

  • I was one of 5 writers shortlisted out of over 90 who submitted their work!

  • I'll be mentored once a month throughout 2025 by the wonderful Jacqueline Gabbitas!

  • The Fisherman's Daughter will be published for you to read, regardless of whether I win at the next and final stage of the competition.


The winner of the competition will be announced in December 2025, after the submission of the final manuscript!


 

ABOUT THE NOVEL


To one of four seaside refuges, Daleton, rife with myth. One story of the sea drives Josie into it: a mythical lily flower that will bring back her mother, but it is guarded by ominous shadowmen, blustering whales, and vicious merfolk. Convincing her father to sail her there before the winter harvest, father and daughter venture into unknown waters, leaving homely Daleton far behind.
