E: 26/02 Win a Place on a One-day Writing Course in South London on April 11 (Effort)

From today's Love Sunday People magazine:

Enter our fab short story competition.

See yourself as a budding JK Rowling or JoJo Moyes? Fancy being published in the pages of Love Sunday? Well, here is your chance...

We know how much you love reading our short stories every week, and we know that they have inspired many of you to turn your hand to writing your own, so now's your chance to see if your words could result in your name in print.

We're launching a short story competition, open to anyone in the UK, for the chance to have your story published in Love Sunday.

All you need to do is compose an original story, which must not have been publishd elsewhere, that is 1,500-1,600 words long. It can be on any topic (eg love and relationships, a ghost story, etc), as long as it is set in the 20th/21st century, and has a twist that is not (too) obvious!

THE WINNER

The author of the best story will receive a place on a one-day course with The Author School at Bankside in South London on Monday, 11 April 2016 (http://www.theauthorschool.com), which includes classes filled with great information to help if you would like to get published or have an idea for a book, guest speakers, a Q&A, opportunities to network and the option to submit a manuscript to be passed on to literary agents and publishers. It will also be published in Love Sunday magazine.

HOW TO ENTER

BY EMAIL

Send your short story to: laura.millar@trinitymirror.com marking the subject line Short Story Competition, by the closing date of Friday, 26 February 2016.
