Firstly please accept my apologies for not getting back to you all sooner, it has taken me a lot longer than I thought to read everything. I received a lot of excellent short stories and poems and I’m no expert but there wasn’t a bad one amongst them. It has been a very hard decision and to everyone who’s receiving this email today I regret to say you haven’t been chosen. We decided in the end to go with just one writer who’s work seemed to fit perfectly with Hiroshi‘s art. I mentioned before that this project may take a while to be fully realised but once it is finished, and if it’s successful we hope to then look at another one.
