I was very proud to reach the final in this year's Bradt Travel Guides/Independent on Sunday Travel Writing Competition, with my piece, The Moonlit Maze.
I went down to London yesterday evening to the awards ceremony, which took place at the fabulous Stanfords travel book shop in Covent Garden.
The first prize went to Cal Flyn, and it was presented to her by Simon Calder.
I met some great people and had a lovely evening!
The judges said this about my piece:
"Stories of getting lost in the souk are not unusual, but in this one the writer gives a startling portrayal of both the physical and emotional contrast between daytime colour and the dark hours of evening. The tale is told at a good pace, with moments of technicolour description and observation interwoven smoothly with the narrative of the unfolding drama. It is with a great sense of relief that we rejoin Anish and his tuk tuk."
