THE WRITE PLACE CREATIVE WRITING SCHOOL

 Open Short Story and Poetry competition 2009

Despite the effects of the postal dispute, we had an excellent entry for our first writing competition.

The standard of entry was generally very high and the judges were astonished at the diverse and innovative interpretations of the competition themes, with some writers being quite inventive.

Unfortunately, in a few instances, the presentation of the end product let the author down.

The winning stories and poetry were selected for their flair, creativity and imaginative construction. The authors should be applauded for their hard work.
