A Twickenham woman took second prize in a prestigious competition for new female writers.
Dolores Pinto’s story Where Life Takes You appears in the Virago-published Asham award-winning anthology of stories entitled Once upon a Time there was a Traveller.
Ms Pinto has been writing for four years and will receive a £500 cheque as her prize at the Small Wonder short story festival in East Sussex later this month.
