Categories & Prizes

Submission period from 1 April to 31 July.

June is Feedback Month, whereby our editors give feedback on story drafts at no cost to writers.

Writers are advised to take advantage of this free service before making their final submission.

Stories selected for publication will be announced in October.

Prize winners will be announced at the book launch in November.

Stories may be autobiographical or biographical. This means that you can tell your own story or someone else’s – with their permission.


Our editors will be giving feedback on story drafts in June. We urge contributors to make the most of Feedback Month and to utilise this service before making their story submissions.
