🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT 🚨
We’re back with another “regular” episode full of good times and questionable opinions!
Our past daredevils may enjoy the schadenfreude of us lay our own writing on the line (complete with sound effects only a toddler could love). We’ll also delve into some deeper topics including A.I. in art, and the very real story of convicted pedophile, Mary Kay Letourneau, as fictionalised in the film, ‘May December’.

Ending the year on a high note with our fifth and final Daredevil for the October round, @elysiarourke!
Daredevils are those brave (slightly unhinged) authors who volunteer for the privilege of having their #NotQuiteWritePrize entries openly critiqued on-air.
We are big fans of Elysia’s work and this round was no different. We can’t wait to see where this story ends up.

@christy_hartman_writer is our latest victim, as we publicly critique her October #NotQuiteWritePrize entry, ‘Home Sweet Home’ in this episode of the Not Quite Write podcast.
Christy’s story offered a memorable and original take on the anti-prompt of “avoid head-hopping” but narrowly missed out on a longlisting.
So if you haven’t eaten enough over the past few days, tune in for some more food for thought about how to elevate your own stories onto that list!

When @holly_realski signed up as an October Daredevil, it’s safe to say it was not for altruistic reasons!
Holly felt the heat during her July Daredevil episode, so much so that she decided to channel those painful feelings into what had to be the most awkward reading experience of judges Ed and Amanda’s lives.
Let’s just say Ed has his editing work cut out for him, but somehow we managed to cobble together a swimming-intelligible response.

@sarahk.bumble is a latecomer to the October #NotQuiteWritePrize daredevil family, and we have it on good authority that she’s preemptively drowning her sorrows in anticipation of this blistering public critique!
Listen in as we pick apart Sarah’s entry. Will she crumble, or will she rise again with renewed enthusiasm to show us what she’s really made of in the next round?
Only time (and a few bottles of Bellini) will tell…

Kicking off our October daredevils with a delightful story direct from the gates of Elysium!
A huge thanks to @ninamillerwrites for your good humour and willingness to go under the microscope for the benefit of all our listeners.
Nina is an accomplished flash fiction author who knows a thing or two about writing compelling flash, and has helped Amanda as a beta reader in the recent past.
But… if you think that means we’ll go easy on her, you’ve got another think coming… 😈

Our fifth and final daredevil for July is roasting as we speak!
Check out the latest episode of Not Quite Write to hear the judges’ take on ‘Dazzling Diamonds, Heroic Horses and Pink Panties’ by Dez Veares.

Our daredevils are those brave (perhaps a little mad) #NotQuiteWritePrize entrants who pay for the privilege of having their story picked apart by the judges on air for all to hear. This time it’s @vronikiefer’s ego on the line.
Vroni delivered a deliciously dark and layered piece of flash fiction this round, with a unique approach to the toughest anti-prompt yet.

Our very own EDitor-in-Chief has put his money where his mouth is once again, scoring his second #FuriousFiction showcase in a row!
We’d love to be able to tell you it’s the silliest thing he’s ever written, but that would be a load of sh…

Kicking the week off with a tough (but fair?) critique of ‘Who do I have to speak to about a redo on the prophecy?’ by @holly_realski
Holly signed up for the dubious honour of being roasted by us, the judges of the #NotQuiteWritePrize for Flash Fiction, and we have it on good authority that she is approaching this in much the same way that we approach every episode of the podcast: wine-soaked and full to the brim with indignation!
The truth is, we love you, Holly! Thanks for putting yourself out there so that we all might grow as writers together!
