Longworth Editors Ltd was set up to encourage new writers. We understand that writing is a personal experience and authors can feel apprehensive about showing their work to friends and family. Meanwhile, sending manuscripts straight off to publishers and agents with no feedback beforehand can feel like a big step.

Longworth Editors 2011 Short Story Competition

Our theme for this year’s competition is ‘journey’. We hope having a subject sparks your imagination without constraining you.

The maximum word count is 3,000 and the first prize is £250, with two runners up each receiving £100. The shortlist will be read by an agent, publisher and author.

The deadline is 31 December and the entry fee is £10 - you can pay online below. Please send your entry as an attachment via email to competitions@longwortheditors.com, quoting your paypal reference.
