Full details of entry fees, competition rules and prizes (very important!) here.The Indoor Writer was the winner for the 2013 competition with 'Fibonacci's Tree'.
She's hung up her laptop for this one and has jumped the fence to join the judging panel, along with some great writing names.
The winning and shortlisted stories from 2013 are published in the Hysteria2 anthology, available here and on Kindle.
Thanks for the reminder, Tracy. I am intending to enter this one but I will probably do my usual last minute thing. Aaagh!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry I'm exactly the same when entering competitions. And good luck if you enter, Helen.
DeleteTo be a winner and a judge is very exciting.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great competition, Wendy. I'm pretty chuffed to be on the judging panel but nervous too. Will you have a go?
DeleteThis is by far the best one of your stories I've read, Tracy - I love it - no wonder you won!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks, Wendy, that is lovely of you to say. It's one of my favourites too. I've also converted this to a film script, which a local short film group want to produce.
DeleteTracy, you know you're a success when you move from entering to judging competitions - very well done!
ReplyDeleteAnd I see that the Hysteria 2 anthology has the same front cover photo (the 'splashing' apple) as my first short story e-collection. Is this a case of great minds think alike?!
Thank you, Sally. Funny, but I thought the same thing about the cover. I have your collection and recognised the 'apple'!
