Very good news is that Australian poet, Kate O’Neil (see A to Z of poets), is on the short-list for the prestigious Manchester Writing for Children Prize. You can read about Kate and see who her competition is on the following site: http://www.manchesterwritingcompetition.co.uk/mwcp/finalists.php

Kate is the only Australian represented on the short-list. We wish her the very best of luck to take out a prize!
