Opening

Hi. This is my first post, so don’t hold it against me if I ignore social convention and jump straight in about me.

Writing as Andrew Dawson (that’s right, AK is a cunning pseudonym) I’ve won a Northern Writers’ Award for a novel in progress. I’ve also had a few bits and pieces posted at places like The Cynic Online Magazine and Full of Crow. But you’re probably here because you’re interested in fairy tales, so you’ll want to check out Dante’s Heart, who very kindly included my story The Blind King in their latest collection. In my day job I work at a Harrogate creative agency doing all sorts of design-related things.  

What I intend to do with Unsung Fiction is focus only on fairy tales and folk stories. I know that as an unpublished author I’m supposed to spread my stories out there and make a name for myself, but I kind of like the idea of having them all in one place.

I enjoy writing these tales and hope that you get something out of reading them.

Feel free to comment. I’d love to know what you think.

First story coming soon!
