Judge Fiona Cooper has selected her winners for the final Global Short Story Competition and writers from South Africa and France have taken the honours.
The £100 first place prize goes to Catherine Pritchard, of Cape Town, South Africa, for Lutho, of which Fiona says: “This story touches so many emotions and the dark background - hinted at - awakens the reader’s curiosity. Very satisfying and definitely a story to remember and think about with a style that shows the writer’s remarkable ability.”
Our highly commended runner up is Mandy Harvey, of Parisot, France, for Two’s Company, who wins £25. Fiona says: “Atmospheric and absorbing, this story plays with the idea of reality versus one's own perceptions and assumptions. The characters are well drawn and intriguing and the pace and imagery are very well sustained.”
The writers on the shortlist are:
Chris Bennett, Lindfield, West Sussex, England
Gillian Brown, Peyriac de Mer, France
Edward Sergeant, Scarborough, England
Winning stories will be posted on www.inscribemedia.co.uk Well done to our successful writers.
