““Evokes County Durham in colour and complexity. Each story is a unique take on the River Skerne and the people who live by it.”
JESSICA ANDREWS, AUTHOR OF MILK TEETH

“The stories brim with energies not yet subdued by concerns of fitting in. It is this defiant edge, encouraged by not needing to be published to enter, that lends the Prize its uniqueness, helping to unearth winning stories and authors that shift the global reading landscape towards a better future.” NII AYIKWEI PARKES, AUTHOR OF TAIL OF THE BLUE BIRD“
