My comment:

This is rejection by default: I'm not on the longlist of 20. My namesake Richard Beard is though, and he works here (at Birmingham City University) as Director of the National Writing Academy. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him, although another writer I 'know' (in the virtual world) is also on list: Kay Sexton, so I'll keep my other fingers crossed  for her too.
