Following the long listing of 'Man Up Manfred Cat' in SCBWI's Undiscovered Voices competition the ginger hair ball has now won the latest SCBWI Slush Pile Challenge. Next month Manfred and myself will be off to dream among the Oxford spires. We will meet the lovely Clare Witson at OUP for a meeting where, among other things, we will discuss how Manfred might develop the relationships with his friends Goren and Arthur.
Manfred says he'd rather not develop them at all, but I'm sure we'll talk him round... eventually.
