The Global Short Story Competition
has a new look and a new website.
The competition, which began five
years ago and runs monthly with a £100 first prize and a £25 highly commended
payment, has been taken over by Inscribe Media Limited, of Darlington, County
Durham in North East England.
Entries to the competition come from
all over the world and the judge is North East author Fiona Cooper. Approaching
£9,000 has already been paid out to winners.
Inscribe has invested in a new
website and company director, the crime novelist John Dean, who has been
competition administrator from its beginnings, said: “The competition has been
running for five years and it was high time for a revamp. The new site will,
hopefully, be easier to use and we hope it will encourage more and more writers
to enter their stories.
“The competition was established to
encourage aspiring writers and has showcased some terrific talent during its
first five years. I know it will continue to do so.”
As it develops, the new site will
also carry details of a series of ebooks which emerged from writers featured in
the competition as well as details of online creative writing courses.
You can find more and enter the
competition through www.inscribemedia.co.uk If you go to the old address, www.globalshortstories.net,
you’ll be automatically forwarded to the new site.
Inscribe is also taking over the
free social networking site for authors which accompanies the competition and
has approaching 1,000 members. That can be found at www.globalwriters.net
