Short Stories and Extracts
Please submit fiction short stories or extracts using the form below.
The Writers Initiative will showcase short stories or extracts – by up and coming or established writers. We are open to all styles and genres, but please keep them fairly family-friendly, as stories here are posted online for anyone to read. Before you submit please make sure you have proofread and formatted your work so it is ready to post. Ideally, the story will make us laugh, cry, shudder or think – if it does all we may well be left in awe!
