Our Pick of the Month shortlist for October is a sombre one. People and relationships are mourned, or not, and we’ve been drawn to the dark and macabre, perhaps befitting in a month that ends with the Day of the Dead.
You will find our shortlisted writers below (or see the ‘Vote for your Pick of the Month for October 2016’ in the Categories list to your right on the screen). These have either been chosen by Helen and Kate or received the most attention on social media. (You’ll note we have an extra this month. Competition on social media was fierce!)
Voting has now closed.
The winner each month will be sent a £10 book giftcard or, if preferred, a donation of the same amount will be made to a chosen charity. In the event of the winner being from outside the UK mainland, we will make every effort to provide a reasonable alternative.
