Sunpenny Publishing: Judging of our Competitions

JUDGING OF OUR COMPETITIONS

We have 5 judges for our competitions:

Sunpenny Judge: Jo Holloway
Jo has been involved in writing and production for television, radio, film, multimedia and print for over 25 years, and has been involved in developing the careers of many new writers. With years of magazine and corporate writing and editing behind her, she had her first novel published in the USA in 2005. She recently started Sunpenny Publishing in order to have more control over her own writing works, and as an opportunity to help other writers achieve their dreams.

Sunpenny Judge: Melody Amundson
Melody has been involved in creative works for many years, and although she only became entangled professionally in the world of books a couple of years ago, she has always loved reading and language. Melody thrives on stories of intrigue and adventure, alongside her Christian literature.

Sunpenny Judge: Andrew Holloway
Andrew first because involved in printing, typesetting and proofreading on his school printing press many, many years ago. Since then he has had technical articles published and has written several technical manuals. His great love is biography and other non-fiction, and crime books.

Sunpenny Judge: Gary Amundson
Gary has been an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction all his life, and especially loves historic works. Gary is our "control" - he is not involved in the book or creative trade, but is an excellent judge of what's good (or otherwise) from a "lay" reader's perspective.

Guest Judge: Lucy McCarraher
Lucy has been involved in the writing and production of television programs for many years. She is also an acknowledged work-life balance expert and has written a book on the subject, as well as having a novel recently published by MacMillan, with another up for consideration. See her web site here. Lucy is involved in the final judging process.
