Welcome to the Bristol Short Story Prize - an exciting, international writing competition that publishes an annual anthology as well as presenting cash prizes.

The closing date for entries is 31st March 2011. Stories can be on any theme or subject and the entry fee is £7 per story.

The 2010 Bristol Short Story Prize was won by Valerie O'Riordan for her stunning and incredibly powerful 350 word story 'Mum's the Word'.

Our latest anthology featuring the 20 stories shortlisted for the 2010 BSSP can be ordered direct from us with free worldwide postage and packing. Entrants to the 2011 BSSP may purchase any of our anthologies from us at 30% discount. Our latest anthology is, also, available from The Book Depository, Amazon, Waterstone's website, and some bookshops. If your local bookshop doesn't have it in stock then they will be able to order it in for you. You can also buy the Kindle format ebook from Amazon.co.uk .

We are planning a one-day short story festival, ShortStoryVille, which will take place next July. We hope it will become an annual event.
