Biscuit publisher and judge Brian Lister Writes: "Some words of advice, if I may? If you are a reader, just wanting to enjoy reading great short stories, this is the book for you. If you are a writer, or would-be Biscuit Prize contender this is the book for you! Indeed in all of Biscuit winners' anthologies, you can discover what kind of stories the teams of judges favour. You will see that the stories are diverse in every subject matter, viewpoint and tense. Biscuit judges have no preconceived favourite forms. The stories can be written in third or first person - or second person. Sometimes third person viewpoint wins, sometimes first person takes the prize. Second person can do it too, if you can maintain that difficult viewpoint throughout the story.

"If therefore you are considering being a contender for the Biscuit Prize, be brave, write in the viewpoint you yourself prefer! Create from the heart and let the words flow onto the page. Trust me when I say, the reader/judge will connect with you."
