I’ve had a peek at a few and it’s really fun to see all the different “unsexy” things that have undergone a glow-up!

At this stage of proceedings, there is still no clear winner. I can't wait to see who emerges victorious!

My final stats: Fave: 1 (tough crowd this round!) Yes: 13 Maybe+: 72 Maybe: 103 Maybe-: 84 No: 70 DQ: 3 Where did YOUR story fit? I know it's irrational and kinda stupid but I genuinely hope every single one of you produced that lone "fave". #NotQuiteWritePrize

And that's a wrap on my initial judging for the January 2025 #NotQuiteWritePrize! Somewhere amongst these 346 stories is our WINNER. We're edging closer to determining which story will earn its author the title and the trophy (and the cash 👀) It's gonna be a tough one!

The first-line typo offender has been one-upped by a typo IN THE TITLE 🤣 Never fear! Such a minor (and frankly, relatable) transgression will not affect the scoring. It'll just earn you a little "tsk tsk" 😜 #NotQuiteWritePrize

We're coming to the end of our initial judging process and will soon kick off the longlist and shortlist decisions. We're as impatient as you are to find out who will be taking home that trophy. We can't wait to deliver these results! #NotQuiteWritePrize

@quitewriteed.bsky.social and I have been working overtime to prep everything for the Not Quite Write Prize for FLESH Fiction, and I've gotta tell you... It's gonna be HOT! This comp is for anyone who's ever toyed with the idea of writing spicy fiction. A big announcement is imminent!

Another yes this morning! I'd say this author took a big risk with their approach but I enjoyed it! Sometimes taking risks pays off 😊 #NotQuiteWritePrize
