Have you been paying attention? Yeah, well, we’ll be the judges of that. All the answers can be found in the Words with JAM archives of this year. (Or Google. But think how cheap and low-down lazy you’d feel.)
Twenty literary questions and a wild card question to act as a tie-breaker. The winner will receive a £20 Amazon voucher and an official WWJ Mug.
Two rules: regular WWJ columnists can enter but will not be eligible for the prize, and JJ Marsh's decision is final.
