Gremlins have taken over the NQW website 😱 We appreciate your patience (and impatience - all feelings are valid! 😂) as we work through these “unprecedented times”. Birthday Boy is on the case, so please bear with us.

And the first story of the year is on its way. Thanks to @WritersCentreAU for the #FuriousFiction challenge and kicking me out of the food coma and into "brainiation" as my kids would say. Good luck all, but I feel we've already won, laying down a story in the single days of Jan!

We will write our stories, even if it’s 100 words at a time. Check out Five Minute Lit - a wonderful home for tiny slices of life!

You don't want the audience waiting for what happens next. You want them to anticipate it. This means controlling the narrative momentum, stakes, and tension. It's your job to keep them engaged. Don't ask for their patience. Very few of them will give it.

Congratulations, Matt! And happy birthday 🥳 So glad to see this wonderful screenplay get the accolades it deserves 😊
Absolutely cheesed (with photographic proof) to learn “Care Source” made the finals at Vail Film Fest! What a way to close out my birthday week. Honored to see my mother’s story about Huntington’s Disease resonate with audiences around the world. Congrats to my fellow finalists!

Huge congratulations!
Huge thanks to @AKScotland and @QuiteWriteEd from @NQWpodcast for honoring me with this award. And a shoutout to my fellow shortlist writers, your stories were amazing. I found myself clapping after each reading, as if I were in a theater. I was simply transported by your work.
