If you’d love to see your work in print, you’ll be pleased to hear that Northern Life will be running a short story competition over future issues.

The theme is NEW BEGINNINGS.

The winning short story will be published in Northern Life magazine and on our website. Entry to the short story competition is FREE.

All submissions should be around 800 words.

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.
