not exactly true: Three stories in FRiGG!

Three stories in FRiGG!

I've got three stories in issue 39 of FRiGG! They've done such a lovely job with them - gorgeous artworks and everything. Also, if any of you are thinking of submitting to FRiGG, I want to mention Ellen Parker's brilliant editorial skills: her comments and suggestions totally made my words better. Thanks, Ellen!

Valerie O'Riordan is mostly to be found scavenging chocolate from vending machines. Here's a brief and messy biography [click].

I'm a writer and editor. My chapbook, Enough, is published by Gumbo Press (May 2012), and is available both in paperback and for the Kindle. Some people have said nice things about it. I run occasional creative writing workshops, and I'm available for manuscripts appraisals, should you want such a thing. Contact me at valerie.oriordan at gmail.com and/or follow me on Twitter. Go on.

What, more? Well, I placed first at the 2012 Spilling Ink Flash Fiction Prize (anthology forthcoming in late 2012) and the 2010 Bristol Short Story Prize (anthology here). I was also shortlisted in the flash fiction category in the 2010 Bridport Prize. I've got stories in various off- and on-line places - most recently in FRiGG and Metazen.

I'm also a book reviewer and co-editor of Bookmunch, which combines two of my passions - reading and free things. Click here to see a list of my reviews.

I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Manchester, studying creative writing. In 2009/10 I did an MA here; click below to find all my posts about that:
