Congratulations to Annemarie Neary. Having been short-listed for the 2008 Bridport Fiction Prize, she is now one of eleven supplementary prizewinners of the 2009 Fiction Prize. This means that her story ‘Siren’ will be published in the forthcoming  Bridport anthology. Annemarie attended the Microfiction workshop in 2008 and took part in the first Novelists’ Club in 2009, although we can’t claim any credit for her success – ‘Siren’ was written before the course started. The 2009 Bridport Fiction prize was judged by Ali Smith.
