Peter Jones has been in touch from the Lancashire Authors’ Association to tell me about their 2016 Open Competition.
The competition is for a short story in exactly 100 words (excluding the title) on any theme or subject. There is a prize of £100 up for grabs which is sponsored by Langtec Composite Tube Manufacturers and in my opinion £100 for 100 words is a pretty good rate per word!
Entry is by email or post and the entry fee is £3 (or £2 if you are a member of the association).
Closing date is 31st October 2016. Check the full rules before entering.
A short story in exactly 100 words is known as a drabble. There are some useful tips on drablr.com about writing to such a tight word count and lots of examples. You can also publish your own drabbles on this website for others to read (but don’t publish the one you want to enter in the competition!).
