The John O’Connor Writing School Short Story Competition 2018
“The world of John O’Connor is a world
of the freshly snedded turnip, the new-sawn plank, the sod shining under the
plough. His gift is to render the life of the Mill Row in Armagh as deftly and
definitively as Steinbeck renders Cannery Row or Bob Dylan Desolate Row”
Paul Muldoon
The festival, sponsored and supported
by internationally renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, Paul Muldoon, has a
two-fold purpose. It aims to to celebrate and commemorate the life and works of
John O’Connor as well as offering practical guidance and assistance to aspiring
writers through its workshops and master classes in the various literary genres
and writing for commercial purposes.
Entries are currently invited from aspiring
writers for the third John O’Connor Short Story Competition. It is being held
to commemorate the Armagh born writer whose impressive literary legacy includes
a collection of short stories which still retain a timeless appeal.
Prize
The prize winner will be awarded a
full bursary to attend the John O’ Connor Writing School and Literary Arts
Festival which will be held in Armagh from 1st to 4th
November, 2018, plus a cash prize of £250. The bursary prize allows
the recipient to enjoy all events in the John O’Connor Writing School and
Literary Festival 2018, and to attend one class in the writing genre of his/her
choice. The winner will be notified by 2 October.
The winning entrant will be formally
announced at the opening of the Writing school on Friday 2nd November, and will
have the opportunity to read at an event on Sunday 4th November
2018. Single room accommodation will be available free of charge to the winning
entrant.
