Short Story Competitions
Our short story writing competitions are a great way to get published. All top winners will be entered into the year or biyearly anthology (even if you are not a member). Win!
Scores are based on: Interest, Plot, Style, Character, Settings, Grammar/Spelling, fit to theme, and publishibility. Don't be scared off by all the criteria. Instead, write the best story you can, and the judges will take care of the rest.
It's FREE to enter, so you may as well enter just for fun.

Flash Fiction For Fun
Are you ready for the challenge?
It’s true we all love to linger over a favourite novel in comfy slippers and a cup of hot cocoa, but if it’s 50, 100, 200, 300 or up to 1000 words, a well-crafted story can pack a mighty punch.
Even at 100 words a story can zing. It’s all in the showing (and telling), using the ABDCE structure: action, background/ inciting action, development/rising actions, climax, ending (the characters should be significantly different).
