'The ten best entries from the Tasmanian Writers' Prize 2021 as selected by Hilary Burden, Chris Gallagher and Penny Lane
'Above all, when judging each story, we looked for a captivating storyline that lingered in the mind after the reading. We looked for stories with a satisfying shape and poignant or arresting moments, with an opening that drew the reader in. We appreciated the imagery of some stories, the humour of others, the characters we met. Because of the island theme, we sought island settings or references. In this, we were not disappointed. The range of interpretations of the theme was impressive. ~ Penny Lane'
