We are not looking for the big names of the literary world, rather the talented authors who remain to be discovered, the voices which are as yet unheard, the stories as yet untold, the writers ignored by the publishing industry. The prize for the monthly competition is £100 to the winner, £25 to the highly commended and £250 for the end of year one.

Flash fiction competition winner announced
The team behind The Global Short Story Competition has announced the winner of its latest free flash fiction competition.
The challenge to writers was to produce a story capturing ‘one of the best things in life’ in no more than 100 words for the competition, which is run at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Inscribemedia/183385438479538
We liked a lot of the entries but in the end the £50 prize went to Asharika Jaward for: It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. That much was clear. The hitch? He couldn't take them with him- Samantha and the twins. Still it would be foolish to refuse. He opened the door, a frown on his face.
“Daddy! Daddy!” The twins rushed forward to welcome their father and clung lovingly onto his legs.
“Let daddy be,” Sam gently reprimanded. She set warm chicken casserole on the table. Looking at his beautiful family and realizing what he had, he made up his mind.
Iyona, their, maid found the airplane ticket in the dustbin the next morning while doing her daily chores.
Well done, Asharika.
