CELEBRATIONS September 2024
Summer might be drawing to a close but our SCBWI members still have wonderful things to celebrate...
Huge congratulations to Miranda Moore who has won the David Fickling Books & Arvon 'Search for a Storyteller' competition with her YA novel, For Never Was a Story. Miranda is a long-standing member of SCBWI and this is what she had to say about the news:
"I'm absolutely thrilled, obviously. It has taken me years of attending (often SCBWI-organised) workshops, years of reading craft books, years of chiselling with my YA crit group, years of longlistings and shortlistings, years of writing other things to get to a point where I’m winning a publishing deal for my fiction. I guess the point is: keep honing, keep improving, keep writing brilliant stories, people!"
We couldn't be happier for you Miranda and it's lovely to hear that your perseverance has paid off.
Miranda is a longstanding member of SCBWI Scotland
