Saturday, 10 March 2018. The Pain of Rejection - for judges as well as writers. I took a temporary break from writing to help judge two short story competitions and hope this post is useful for writers who suffer the disappointment of not seeing their story reach a long-list, or move from long to short-list. It is horribly hard to part compan.

Bath Flash Fiction Award is a rolling competition. Each award ends at 1000 entries. Judging takes place quickly, with a top prize of 1000. At the close of each competition, the next competition begins. 1000 prize for the winner, 300 second and 100 third. 300 word limit, details in the Rules. Each award ends at 1000 entries. There is no deadline date. Or 600 as part of a group entry. Click to share on T.

Thank you to everyone who has followed me on this blog. Just to say I have moved home and instead of using judehiggins,wordpress. com, I am now blogging on judehiggins. Hope to see you there. Prompts can be anything of course, words, phrases, lines from poetry, objects, music.

When you hear the name of prizewinning author Margaret Atwood many images are sure to spring to mind;. And the Maddaddam series for instance, or perhaps her most recent short story collection Stone Mattress, which was published little under a year ago.
