DO YOU HAVE A WAY WITH WORDS?

This month’s winning author is Julie Woods, from Bristol, who wins £100! She says: ‘This short story is the first thing I have written in a long, long time, so it feels wonderful to win!

I do try to remind myself that there is always someone worse off than me, especially so at Christmas.’
