It was a pleasure to judge this year’s AWR contest. It’s my second year representing Elwood Writers as a judge, and such an honour to read all the contributions. In two years, the quality of entries just keeps rising. Congratulations to editor sD Ferrara on a short-list full of surprises and containing something for everyone.
Margaret is a Melbourne/Naarm-based writer developing a memoir about the relationship she had with her father, a wounded veteran of the Second World War and prisoner of war in Germany.

In 2015, she gained an MA in Creative Writing from Wilkes University, PA. She writes non-fiction, personal essay and the occasional short story.
