Well, with the wonderful debut collection soon to be published from Katrina Moinet as the first in the series, and the two winners of our previous competition, Eileen Carney Hulme and Oz Hardwick also seeing their collections published in the soonishness, I am so verily chuffed to be able to unveil the Longlist for our second ever Crimson Spine Pocket Book Competition.
