I was delighted to be awarded Second Place and Best Poem in this year’s ZineWest 16 competition for my poem, ‘The morning after’. This competition is run by NEW Writers’ Group Inc who produce an anthology of prose, poetry and art each year for artists from Western Sydney.

The ‘Zine also features very exciting writing and art from young artists in Western Sydney. I look forward to reading more from these writers in the future.
