Persolaise Shortlisted Twice For 2012 Jasmine Awards

Drum roll, please: the shortlists for this year's Jasmine Awards have just been announced. In the 'Digital' category, not one, but three examples of my work have been singled out for recognition*. I am well and truly speechless! And I am grateful to the Jasmine judges for the honour, to Basenotes for publishing my writing and to my readers for your constant support and encouragement. I'm also thrilled to be in the company of Victoria Frolova and Nick Gilbert. My cup runneth over.

Below, you'll find links to all the shortlisted articles. Warm congrats to Victoria and Nick. May the best article win! The prize-giving ceremony will take place on the 7th of March. To read the shortlists for the other categories, please click here.

* UPDATE -- I'm not quite sure what's happened, but it would seem that some gremlins have worked their way into the Jasmine website. When the shortlist for the Digital category first appeared on TheJasmineAwards.co.uk, it listed 5 articles; now the number appears to have shrunk to 4 (hence the crossed out article above). Never mind. I'm still over the moon!
