It may be a rainy and wet outside today – but we’re buzzing at SPA HQ to see our members filling up the Words by Women shortlist.

Founded this year to combat the lack of female representation at the Press Awards, the awards shortlist was revealed at midday today.

We’re delighted to see the following SPA members on the list:

• Flora Carr, Features Editor of Exeposé, University of Exeter
• Grace Rahman, Editor of Felix, Imperial College London
• Nicola Kenton, Online Sport Editor at Redbrick
• Emily McMullin, Last Year’s Deputy Features Editor at Epigram, University of Bristol

Good luck to everyone nominated!
