Short story prize - slight delay

We're very sorry. There have been so many good stories to sift through that we're having to delay our longlist announcement slightly. It will now happen on Monday 9 January at 9am.

Apologies if you're waiting to hear. I know it must be painful. If I can offer some compensation: the reason everything has taken us slightly longer than anticipated is that we've had so many good stories in contention. So you'll at least know you're part of a very good field. (And also that if your story doesn't make it through there's a high chance we've spent quite a while agonising over it - and we think your work is worth taking seriously too.)
