Quite a few Australian entries coming in for the Global Short Story Competition, which gives me another chance to praise that country.
Australia has had plenty of success in the competition since we started five years ago and I reckon one of the reasons why so many fine writers have emerged from that country is the way writing is supported there.
When we started promoting the competition, we quickly discovered that all across Australia can be found writing centres in which authors gather to meet, swap opinions and encourage each other. Quite a lot of our successful entries have come out of that system and it is much to be lauded.
