A sense of community
During my blogs over the months, I have referred to our sense that we are establishing a worldwide writing community. It lies at the heart of a lot of what we do.The reason for mentioning the idea now is that, although we do receive a lot of stories from people entering for the first time, we also have a growing number from people coming back to the competition.We love seeing those entries - and we have had people winning having re-entered - because it shows us the range of people’s work. That is fascinating because a writer may send in one type of story then their next one is a different genre or a different style.
It shows the versatility of many of the writers entering our competition.
