2005 was a great year for Jane Rusbridge, as she won first prize in the short story category for the “Writers inc” Writers of the Year competition with a tale called “Angus”. This follows her success in 2003, when she was one of ten runners-up in the Bridport Prize. She is currently working on a novel based on this short story (“Left over Right and Under”). Jane Rusbridge has also tasted success in other competitions – the 2001 Asham Award and the 1999 Philip LeBrun Prize. In 2004, she was awarded a Distinction for an MA in Creative Writing at University College, Chichester, where she now teaches as an associate lecturer. Her short stories and poems have been published in various anthologies: “An Unorthodox Love Affair” in “Mouth Ogres” in 2001, and two poems in “The Promise of Rest”, from Ragged Raven Press in 2002.  Jane Rusbridge lives in West Sussex with her family.
