Congratulations again to all of the shortlisted authors. Here are the winners!
In the Aftermath of a Supernova by Eleanor Luke
Why we chose it: This has such beautiful imagery whilst looking at a dark and complex theme, and ends with such a startling sentence.
Second Prize Winner: Words From a Time Traveller by Glyn Matthews
Why we chose it: There are some lovely sensory elements to the description that made us feel part of the story. We heard that whistle and feel like it took us on a journey.
