I won the 2025 Lanark Lit Writing Competition

I am both humbled and honoured.

I won with my short non-fiction story, Hold On, in the 18+ age category. The winner in the 17 and under category is Mattea Crabtree with Code Duello.

Hold On is about my decades long friendship with a man now serving life imprisonment for murdering his wife.
