""A story assembled from everyday objects, unassumingly and quietly, that stuns and horrifies by increments...The Canal may look, at first glance, like a love story, but it harnesses the power of parable." John Wray, author of Lowboy.

Fiction Award . . .
As some of you will know, I was the guest editor at Publishing Genius’s fiction blog Everyday Genius for the whole of last month. I thoroughly enjoyed working with poet, publisher and polymath Adam Robinson. He’s doing some pretty amazing things (unearthing the brilliant Shane Jones for a start). I think, as guest editor, I published some decent writing – I guess I wanted to inject a little British (and Irish (and Scottish)) tom-foolery and brio into the proceedings. I think I succeeded in doing that, looking back, as I have been, over the work published.
So, I am pleased to announce the inaugural winner of the ‘Lee Rourke best fiction award for fiction published during the month of October at Everyday Genius’* is the meta-fabulist and wonderful, all round good egg HP Tinker.
Yes, that’s right, HP Tinker.
Here is the line-up for October. Click on a name and be delighted:
Stuart Evers │ Steve Finbow │ Peter Wild │ Shiona Tregaskis │ Ellis Sharp │ Grace Andreacchi │ Adrian Slatcher │ Heidi James │ HP Tinker │ Ben Myers │ Matthew Coleman │ Jenni Fagan │ Tom McCarthy │ Darran Anderson │ Adelle Stripe │ Maxi Kim │ Hendrik Wittkopf │ Shya Scanlon │ Aimee DeLong │ Andrew Gallix │ Melissa Mann │ Ethel Rohan
* this award is sponsored by ‘Everyday’ by Lee Rourke.
