“It has been wonderful to focus on a project, this one aimed at over seventies couldn’t have been better...Thank you again for turning isolation into something positive.”
“Without your Lear Prize I would never have done it, since in my seventy three years of life I never had the urge to write stories before. Thanks for all your time and effort.”
“I thought you might like to know that the prizes have proved to be hugely motivational for me….It has helped me emerge from a trough of despond, and a very difficult time of severe health problems.”
“I thought why not write a story and off I went, an idea came to me one night and two weeks later it was off to you... Thank you for putting me on this path, I’m loving it!”
