Markets For Writers

Some of the markets I highlight have very short deadlines. My market for you today gives you plenty of time to craft your story. The Christopher Fielden Annual Short Story Competition “To Hull & Back” is now accepting entries, but you have until 31st July 2016 to send your entry.

It’s a humorous writing competition and welcomes stories from around the world. The maximum word limit is 4000 words. Previously published stories are accepted. Prizes are as follows:

1st: £1000

2nd: £150

3rd: £75

But there’s more than just cash to the prize – see website. Rules and other information including entry fees can be found on the website.
