Welcome to a new competition with a single aim - to seek out the world‚s best undiscovered writing talent. A modest little aspiration (!) but in many ways a realistic one!

You see, in addition to being a published novelist, we have been working with all sorts of writers for a number of years and are constantly impressed with the quality of their creations.

Very often, I sit in the writing classes and mentoring sessions that I take and marvel at the words I am hearing - and wonder why these people have not been published.

That is why we set up this competition - to find a way of discovering that talent and helping to encourage some of the world‚s new voices, not just by paying them money for winning but also putting their winning stories on our site.

And by running it every month, we can showcase as many winning writers as possible.

Just a word about the counter on the home page. Each time a new competition begins, it will automatically zero. Because this first competition runs over six weeks, it will be a little bit out of kilter for a week or two and you really have until the end of December to enter.

Anyway, we are up and running. Hope you feel ready to test your abilities against the world! Oh, and do not hesitate to get in touch with us through the site. We welcome your feedback.
