This year’s competition opened in January. We’ve already had stories from keen entrants and are looking forward to many more. Writers have until 31st May to post or upload their entries — see www.fromeshortstorycompetition.co.uk for details. You can also read the winning stories from last year on the website.

This year’s judge is author, journalist and broadcaster, Bel Mooney. In addition to writing for a wide range of national newspapers and magazines, Bel is a prolific author in various genres — including the short story — and we are thrilled that she is involved in our competition this year.
