It's what we do

The Global Short Story Competition is into its seventh year and in that time the monthly competition has handed over £11,000 in prize money to writers from all over the world.

We established the competition to give a voice to writers seeking to bring their work o a wider audience and we are doing that on a regular basis.

We communicate with writers on a daily basis and are often inspired by the work they submit to the competition, We have had some brilliant winners, some of which can be enjoyed at our website www.inscribemedia.co.uk
However, to survive we rely on income from entry fees, which is why we are appealing to you to spread the word among your networks. The competition can be entered at www.inscribemedia.co.uk.

But why support us? Well, here’s what we do:
Free stuff There’s loads of free hints on writing at our blog at www.inscribemedia.co.uk and you can also check out our free writers’ toolbox, which can be downloaded off the home page at http://www.inscribemedia.co.uk/
