Top 3% for @bbcwritersroom open call last year, top 10% this year.
Just have to keep plugging away. But at least seem to be somewhere in the vicinity of the right track

Over the moon with my email from @bbcwritersroom
After multiple attempts that fell at the first hurdle and a couple that fell after the first, I’m delighted to hear I made the long list this year. Looking forward to the report. Thanks for the opportunity @bbcwritersroom 🙌🏻
