The Ruth Rendell short story competition 2015

Writers in all genres, hear ye, hear ye! A huge competition is underway.

Can you whittle your words down to the best 1000 or fewer? Here’s your chance to gallantly win the tournament and take home the gold… er… we mean pounds.

The challenge for writers is to write a piece in any genre in no more than 1000 words. The winner of the competition will receive £1000 and will be commissioned to write four further stories for InterAct over the course of one year.

The closing date for submissions is Thursday 29 October 2015, World Stroke Awareness Day. The winner will be chosen by Lynda La Plante, who will present the award to the winner at a ceremony to be held in 2016.
