Today is the first of many Big Days: the one where we announce our longlist for the second Keeping It Under Wraps anthology. We found something to love in every single submission, but inevitably we had to narrow them down. Over the next days, Alnaaze, Louise and I will talk through the longlist, argue for our favourites, make compromises for pagecount, and emerge with our finalised list of stories. After that, onto editing!
