We have streamlined the Entry Process
Stringybark Publishing is proud to sponsor the Stringybark Times Past Award 2020. We are looking for historical fiction stories based on a factual event. it could be the retelling of an event or setting the story around an event. This is our fifth history-themed award since 2010 and it invariably encourages wonderful writing.
The story must be:
• 1500 words or fewer in length;
• be based on a real event or events;
• the event(s) must have occurred in Australia or had clear relevance to Australia; and
• the story must be accompanied by a 100 word or fewer explanation of the 'real facts' behind the story.
We have an award pool of over $1000 in cash and books to encourage you in this endeavour, provided by our sponsor Stringybark Publishing.
Reading other stories is a great way to gain inspiration for your own writing. Head over to the bookshop to read some great short stories from other Stringybark antholgies. We recommend having a read of Marngrook, Stew and Sinkers or Fault Lines to get a feel for this competition.
