The Creative Writing Ink Short Story Competition 2024 is open for entries from August 1st, 2024. The event is open to writers across the globe.

Stories do not need to follow any particular theme or genre, but must be written in English.

Your story must be written in English. A maximum of 3,000 words. No minimum. Title not included in the word count.

Entries will only be accepted through Duosuma. All entries are judged anonymously.

We are keen to encourage quality, so suggest writers to check their stories before submitting using Prowritingaid. They have free and paid versions and are the best writing software we know to help improve grammar, readability and check for repetition, ‘sticky’ sentences and suggest alternatives.
