Awards Update
Hello everyone,
If you didn’t enter our awards, you need read no further.
Apologies for an extra email this week but I wanted to get in touch to explain that we have not been able to get all the reading finished and longlists finalised for the awards this week (number of life factors for readers involved etc - I know you’ll understand) and so it is likely to be a few more days before we can finalise this.
I just didn’t want you to be waiting on Sunday night and nothing to come through, so I’m sending this to keep you in the loop - I am hopeful we will have word to all of you by Friday this week.
Stuart (and the awards team!)


Thanks so much for letting us know, Stuart - it's a huge job that I hope you all are still enjoying!
Hi Stuart, I just have to say thank you so much for your care and consideration about how we must all be feeling! You've done such an excellent job at keeping us all informed, it's really so kind and generous of you - and is a testament to how genuinely supportive a community you have built! My fingers and toes are still crossed, but at least myself and everybody else can still feel hopeful at this point, knowing that the decisions haven't yet been made. Good luck to one and all and Thanks again to Stuart and the team! 🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞Shana
