Graham Mort wins the Edge Hill Short Story Prize

Lots of good prize news this week. I'm pleased that Graham Mort won the Edge Hill Short Story Prize 2011. I was blown away by Touch when I reviewed it for issue 89 of New Welsh Review, and was even more shocked to have been long-listed alongside him, and many other great writers. So delicious to see short stories being celebrated. I hope he writes some more.
