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.

A slice of life
I teach classes about short stories and
remind my students that a short story is a slice of life. As such, it works
best if you narrow the time frame and geographical location of the piece. One
plot, two or three characters and no more than two or three locations fit best
into a short story.
