I made the New Voices Top 10!!!!!!!!

I went to bed last night - at 2am (thank you jetlag) a little disappointed that I hadn't received an email, and therefore sure I'd not made it into the next round of New Voices.

And then I wake up this morning to the fabulous subject line: You are through to the New Voices Top Ten!!

I didn't even read the email, just ran to my fiance (who was having a shower) and told him, while shaking :) Then ran back to get the laptop, and read the email to him (hands still shaking).

My mentoring team is Jessica Hart and Meg Lewis. I feel so incredibly fortunate!

Now, I just need to start Chapter Two...

Well done to everyone who entered - so many of you are super talented and I was surprised not to see your names in the Top 10. Please still submit your partials!

  14. Thank you Bec, Eleni and Janette! I'm stressing pretty badly under the pressure to reproduce what I did in Chapter One for Chapter Two (maybe it was a fluke? Maybe I've only got one good chapter in me?). Jessica Hart and Meg Lewis are being amazingly helpful. I so hope I can meet their expectations of me.

  15. Hi Leah, have just had a chance to read your first chapter. It's great, really cool and understated but with layers of emotion and I will be intrigued to see how it develops. Well done and many congratulations.

  16. Leah, my sweet, in the whirlwind of everything else, I forgot to add my congrats to your brilliant achievement! What an amazing, exciting thing for you! But of course, it's well deserved - you know I know you have talent, yes? Such a great opportunity! And Jessica Hart is fab, isn't she? ;-)

    Hoping to hear more wonderful things from you.
