New prompt and competition rules.

Hi Scribblers.


The new Micro Monday prompt is “Sandwiched.” 200 words or thereabouts please and posted direct to the WhatsApp pages. Deadline is Monday 31st May. Happy Bank Holiday!


The Jack Wilkinson Competition for stories about children for an adult reader, is open for entries until 1st June. Stories should be emailed in the usual way to Georgina, making clear that it is a competition entry. Your entries can be in any genre of writing and should be no more than a maximum of 1,000 words.


Please note that the original posting stated the work should be 1,500 words long. Because of the error, all work, irrespective of length will be accepted without question. 


When casting your votes, please remember that you should not vote for your own work.



Once all entries have been received, they will all be posted on the Repository. Members will have a week to read and choose their favourite three stories. Your top three choices should be emailed to Georgina stating 1st, 2nd, 3rd and the corresponding story titles.


Please don’t make any comments below the stories until the outcome has been announced.


All stories will be published anonymously, with only a story title and a corresponding letter of the alphabet. Once all votes are in (and scores have been double checked) the winning entries will be announced.


As we are unable to present the trophy due to the existing situation, an e-certificate will be awarded to the winner.


The more entries, the better, so get those scribbling sticks out!


Please email all contributions to Georgina
