AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'We’ll Stand in That Place and Other Stories is the latest anthology in the annual Margaret River Short Story Competition. In this latest collection, contemporary concerns, such as climate change, cultural inclusiveness and the need for queer spaces, are explored and a spotlight is shone on the complex emotions that we sometimes fail to honour in our daily lives and close relationships.
We’ll Stand in That Place and Other Stories features 19 short stories selected from over 240 entries from the 2019 Margaret River Short Story Competition, which is now in its eighth year. The collection was edited by award-winning author and editor Michelle Cahill and includes this year’s winning story We'll Stand in That Place by Kit Scriven.'
