I try not to read my emails as soon as I wake up, but today I was glad I did because a story acceptance was waiting in my inbox. I’m exceedingly chuffed that my short story ‘The Hole’ has been selected for the next Mechanics’ Institute Review anthology. This is an annual print and ebook anthology, which should be published late September. Over the years it has published stories by such great writers as Ali Smith, Peter Ho Davies and Rose Tremain. You may even get the chance to see me read from it at various events after publication. You can find out more about this prestigious anthology here
