And The Winner Is…Me

Bodrum at NightI’m a little bit pleased with myself. I’ve entered a few travel writing competitions over time. I don’t actually expect to win. My writing style (such as it is) is a little unconventional for some. It’s fine, I don’t mind being an also ran. Besides. there’s no such thing as bad publicity as the PR pimps say; it’s all to the good. So you could have knocked me over with a feather boa when I found out that my entry, Bodrum, Turkey’s San Tropez, to the I Must Be Off Travel Writing Contest 2014 was awarded third place by judge, Robin Graham. Robin said of my little piece:

“Very professional – a knowledgeable and informative introduction to a destination that digs beneath the surface, in an engaging style.”

But there’s more. Yesterday, I received news that I’d come in first for the Reader’s Choice Award. A massive hand to anyone who took the trouble to visit and comment on the article. Thank you. I’m really chuffed!

  8. Bravo (brava?) Jack.

    Many years ago I came fourth (you’ve gained a place on me) in a Sunday Times travel writing competition with a piece on Florida. They printed my piece on Florida in the ST and in a harback/paperback anthology by DAvid&Charles.

    I thought I’d hit the Big Time.Alas, still waiting for that!
