Thanks for this.
For those that don't like reading the fine print, it's worth noting that you can't enter the same story into both WDSSC and the Katherine Mansfield. 16 Jun 2008 16:32:15 |

If you send a self addressed envelope with your entry they always send back the judges comments.
I've had comments back both years I have entered and I can see this years is much better than last years so I know I'm going in the right direction :) 03 Oct 2008 16:10:34
