Feedback for Arvon Entry from W&A Community

26th March 2012

Hello all, I'm new here and hope to get to know a lot of you on here at some point!

I was hoping to get some feedback for my Arvon 2012 entry - my debut short story! - simply as I don't have many literary minded people in my life to give me feedback!

I'm curious as to whether this is something anyone would be interested in doing? Or do I have to build up a raport before gaining something as invaluable as feedback?

Also, would this affect the entry in anyway? In the sense of disqualification due to some kind of breach of terms and conditions? (For which I haven't noticed, but you never know...)

Thanks in advance to those willing to respond! :)

Thanks Isabella, good luck to you also, as well as Anthony and Denis (if you have entered)!

Hello Sebastian

Welcome. I'm sure Denis is right about not putting your entry on the site. If you look at the menu on the left side there is a section called 'Competitions'. If you scroll down to the very bottom you'll find the rules for the Arvon 2012 Competition. I haven't got much else to add except good luck.

Thanks for the advice guys, it's duly noted! I like what I wrote for the competition, but I think it's lacking in structure and has a minimalist plot - it's more about the journey than anything else, will be interesting to see what others think when the time comes for posting it anyway.
