Feature on The Short Story website

I have a feature on the Short Story website. Something about short story competitions, how to maximise your chances...


We send off our manuscripts to competitions, and whisper ‘Good luck’ as we either hit the submit button, or as the envelope falls into the post box. We know our stories are going to find their way into a pile of anonymous entries, and depending on the competition, that pile might be thousands strong. But is luck anything to do with your story being picked for longlisting, shortlisting or final placing?


Yeah. A bit. See the whole article HERE
