It was a closely fought contest, a battle of words, a fight to the end, but after hundreds of votes the three writers chosen by the public to read out as part of the Telltales set at Port Eliot Festival 2011 are Nick Jarvis, Jo Thomas and Rupert Wallis.

Congratulations to them and commiserations to our other shortlisted writers you are all brilliant and we wish we could have taken everyone.
