For those who have not checked their emails: Eersa's Message

Oxford university press has received only 18 entries listed below (prose and poetry out of 20).

Please send me the following as soon as possible:

Names of writer against the title

1. A complete list of writers alongside the titles of their entries. There seems to be some confusion about who wrote which entry. For example, two entries are by the name of Sadaf Halai which is not possible. The names of the writers’ of 5 entries are missing. I have highlighted these in red.
2. Background information on the writers if immediately available. It would be nice to add this but only if readily available.

1. Admiral Superstar and Captain Fabulous by Rayika Choudri.

Glad that it helped. Iram and Hira are still AWOL though :) don't they check emails around there? Its surprising that people did not get Eersa's note...even Sidra did not receive one. But that could have been because we all had her address wrong. Anyway. :) People you can contact easily in Lahore, :) do try to let them know about this bio bit. Hope things are good. :)

Osman, I told Eersa your story wasn't in the list. I'll forward you the note Eersa sent me. I have a feeling she did not send it to everyone....
