It's been a TOUGH decision but we're delighted to announce this year's winners of the Terry Hetherington Award! 🎉
Some incredible entries, thank you to all who submitted. Time to start putting the anthology together! 📚

I started revisiting poetry collections on my shelf back in January. Everyday, I select one poem to post from each revisited collection. Can’t believe I’ve shared over 100 so far!
If you want to read more poetry do check out the #mypoetrybookshelf hashtag 📚

One of my goals for 2020 is to revisit the poetry books, magazines & anthologies currently on my bookshelves. Poems deserve these revisits, I think.
Everyday I’ll pick a random book & chose a poem from it to share using the #mypoetrybookshelf hashtag. Feel free to join in! 📚
What are you working on during lockdown? Fiction? Poetry? Scripts? Journals? Blogs? Or something else entirely? Share it with us 😀
With the awards night now moved to October, we will be contacting those selected for Cheval 13 over the next week or two (a few of you have messaged but don't worry we will be in touch very soon!). Keep your eye on your inbox and good luck! Some amazing work this year ⭐
Are you writing more or less this week? Books and writing are good company for so many of us right now.

I do love the fact that Swansea is becoming a bit of a street art city. Long way to rival the likes of Dublin and Bristol but we’re making a good start.
With all this bad news on our Twitter feeds lately, brighten our day and let us know: what's been your proudest writing achievement so far?
Don't be shy, we want to celebrate your successes! 🎉
