The TripFiction ‘Sense of Place’ Creative Writing Competition
Deadline: Sun 15 Nov 2020
Stories with a strong sense of place and where the destination at the heart of your story is as important a character as the protagonists and the plot are invited. The maximum word count is 3,000, minimum 750. Cash prizes.
There are very few rules and guidelines: we want to encourage creative adventure and freedom. It might be a fully formed short story, a travelogue or a more personal memoir. It might be set in Shetland, Shanghai, Shoeburyness or Shaker Heights, Ohio. It might be rooted in history, love, humour, romance, crime or food. It’s entirely up to you.
The judging panel will include author and journalist David Hewson, publisher Katharina Bielenberg from MacLehose Press, and TripFiction’s co-founder Tina Hartas, (whose inspiration to merge books and travel so successfully came from a rooftop swimming pool in Bangkok).
The winner will receive a cash prize of £300 / US$400, second £150 / US$200 and third £50 / US$67. David will also critique the winning entry. The winning entries will be published on the TripFiction website and promoted on our social media channels.
Entry fee: £5 / US$7
