Arts Council Award

I am delighted to announce that I just received a financial award from the Northern Ireland Arts Council under their �Support for the Individual Artist� scheme . The NI Arts Council continue to support my writing and provide invaluable guidance on my writing career. Over the next few months, with this funding, I will be working closely with an editor on my novel, which will give me firsthand experience of the editing process and also help move �A Man in Grey Shoes� a step closer to publication!
