It is with great pleasure that we can announce two changes to the showcase.
One of the most gifted participants of a workshop for teachers some years ago, Hans-Jürg Suter, got in touch with updated versions of the two texts that were up on his page, which he asked to be put up instead of the original versions he had submitted after our meeting at the Appenberg seminar. Hans-Jürg has since worked on his writing rather seriously and been to workshops of the Arvon Foundation, where very good things happen. Clearly, I'm delighted to act on his wish to have the edited versions up there in their full glory (with many thanks to you Hans-Jürg, and yes, we must think about offering such workshops like the one in Appenberg for Teachers again!)
At the same time a former participant in the Creative Writing Workshop at the Uni of Berne, Nora Rohland, also got in touch to tell me the great news that she won the Stauffacher Short Story Competition. I have great respect for short story writers (like Matt Kimmich and Sara Probst, both previous winners of this award; I tried once and sank without trace) and remembered how Nora as a first-year student did some very impressive course work. It is great to know that she too went on and went one (or several) better. Certainly, when you read her short story, you can tell that there is an extraordinary talent at work here.
I was told once by a visitor that the material posted on the Showcase had been taken for the work of published writers; nobody would think that the majority of them aren't even first language English speakers. Nora fits into this very neatly, so thanks for so spontaneously agreeing to let us display your work in the Showcase.
