Default Gival Press Award

I hope it's appropriate to announce the email I just received: I was one of five finalists for this year's Gival Press Award. It's taken a few years, but I am hopeful that one of my MSS may see publication soonish!
The MS. was Concerto for the Left Hand, which concerns music.

Cheers,
John

Dude, that's awesome. The first book is the hardest to get out--they come to print more easily after it.

Good luck,

Aaron
