Short Story Competition Winners

We are delighted to announce the winners of the Biscuit Publishing Short Story Competition 2010: the First Prize Winner is Peter Bromley, from Northumberland, for his story A Pure Note. Peter has been among the winners of the Biscuit competition before, and in 2007 was overall winner of the competition with a portfolio of three stories. He has decided that he is now ready to publish his first collection of short stories, and has chosen this option as his prize.

Second prize went to First Day of Night by Adnan Mahmutovic from Sweden; Amy Shuckburgh from England took Third Prize for Pudding and Pie. In addition, all seven runners up were very highly commended by the judges.

All the winning stories, plus the top ten stories from the Flash Fiction competition, will be published in a Winners' Anthology later this year.

Before you consider entering your story, here is some food for thought!

Biscuit's annual competitions have run since 2001 and traditionally attract around 400 - 500 entries. 90 - 95% of those entries were of an extremely high standard, so - these are your odds for winning! Without doubt, Biscuit attracts the crème de la crème of writers.

Are you good enough to take the Biscuit in 2010?
