Twisted Tales Short Story Competition

Twisted Tails is a competition specifically designed to satisfy our craving for stories of the ‘Tales of the Unexpected’ type. While we’re not necessarily looking for a devastating denouement, what we do hope for is to be surprised. It’s as simple as that. The surprise itself can be as gentle or as traumatic as you like – hopefully we won’t see it coming!

We are now accepting entries for the Winter Competition, with a deadline of 31st December. As usual, we are offering four cash prizes, with publication for those and the six runners-up.

# The competition is now open to both published and unpublished authors, but stories should not have been previously published in hard copy. Entrants must be over 17.

# Copyright will always remain with the author.

# This year's competitions will be judged by Nuala Ní Chonchúir, fiction writer and poet.
