M&B New Voices 2011

I entered for the first time, in the Historical Section getting some fantastic feed back, including from published authors, like Louise Allen and Nikki Logan. M&B also published their own very positive critique of my entry:

Cat-House Kate by Susan Bergen

  • The authentic Western voice really shone out in this entry, and added real edge to the witty, sharp dialogue – we felt instantly transported back in time.

  • We were also impressed with Kate herself - this is one feisty heroine! Her total lack of self-pity allows the reader to sympathise with her tough start in life whilst also respecting her strength in surviving it.


  • Overall, you have a fabulously unique voice – in your future writing, we’d encourage you to embrace the strengths of both your characters equally
