First Page Challenge is now closed
A quick update!
A big thanks to everyone who submitted :)
Here's what happens next: at some point on October 1st or 2nd, I will finalize the shortlist, which I will send to everyone who has entered. I will also forward these submissions to Michelle Barker for the final round of judging.
Expect an announcement about the three winners by mid-October!
All the best,
David Brown
