Competition Time with Creative Writing Matters

Hello, short story writers!

Creative Writing Matters is delighted to announce its latest short story competition for YA and Adult stories on any subject and of any length up to 10,000 words. Do take a look at the website and think about what kind of story you would like to write for us?

Last year's trophies are pictured below. Perhaps you could win one of this year's selection?

Previous winners and runners-up are all listed on the website and you'll probably find some familiar names among them - Richard Buxton, Simon Kettlewell and Louise Farr, to name but three.

We're also very happy to tell you that the bestselling novelist Trisha Ashley is once again sponsoring the Trisha Ashley Award for the best humorous story in the competition. So come on, make us laugh?

Trisha judges the shortlist herself and has been brilliant at encouraging previous winners and shortlisters, several of whom now have publishing deals. The latest is Elizabeth Morton, who was previously shortlisted as Elizabeth Heery. It's a fact that winning or being shortlisted in a prestigious international competition is a good way to get yourself noticed by a publisher!

We also offer short assessments of entries for a small additional fee.

Trophies and cash prizes await the winners!
