Well now we can truly say it. We are indeed on our way to being global.

In addition to the UK entries we have received in the early days of our first competition, we are now starting to receive stories from elsewhere, starting with New Zealand.

We know there is a thriving short story writing scene in New Zealand and we are delighted to welcome some of its writers to our new venture.

As I have mentioned before on this blog, this inaugural competition is being given a longer lead-in time than normal, and the deadline for this one is the last day of December.

That means that our days to judging counter on the home page will zero itself on December 1: once that happens you have 31 days to get your entries in.

The standard of stories submitted is already high and, as ever, I am constantly impressed by the quality of writing out there.
