Description:

I recently visited the creative writing section of Gumtree.com, to see if there were any writers suitable for inclusion in this series of new short stories online. Almost immediately, I saw an advert by Shermaine Williams for her writing. I followed the link and was most impressed by what I read. I was not surprised to discover that she had already had a couple of short stories professionally published. Shermaine Williams is such a tremendous storyteller, that I had to invite her to contribute. Sense of Achievement is a great story that really delighted me - it even had me laughing for joy in places. The plot, the pace, and the characterisation are perfect. It is exactly the kind of story that I was hoping to find and publish. She first began selling stories to her family as a child, and while it is incredibly difficult for any author to make a living solely from writing, I believe that Shermaine Williams is so talented, that she may one day achieve her dream of doing this.
