September’s stories go off for judging tomorrow. In the five and half years we have been running the monthly Global Short Story Competition, our entries have become split into two categories.
One category is those writers who enter regularly; some of them have been shortlisted and gone onto to win or secure further shortlistings, others have received several shortlistings and are waiting to make that step up. Their support for our competition is very welcome indeed.
The other category is the growing number of writers entering for the first time, either because they were recommended to do so by friends or specialist websites and blogs or because they found us on the web.
We very much appreciate those people who mention our competition, many of whom provide links to our site. Such support is crucial if we are to survive and thrive.
What also pleases us is those writers who stumble across us during web searches: the big challenge for any web-based concern is featuring highly on the search engine rankings and we are starting to do that as more and more people find us.
We love seeing new writers and are constantly impressed by the standard of stories coming in.
Meanwhile, just hours left to enter this month’s competition at www.inscribemedia.co.uk.
