Stringybark Publishing invites Australian and international writers to try their hand at writing a historical fiction story.
For this competition the organisers would like you to take a particular historical incident and weave a story around it. The story could relate to some real event that was of international significance or of local historical interest. They don’t mind. All they require is for there to be a kernel of truth in what you write about and that the story has a link—no matter how tenuous—to Australia.
Word length: maximum 1500 words.
There is an award pool of over $1000 in cash and books to encourage you in this endeavour, as well as publication of the winning and highly commended stories.
Details at: https://www.stringybarkstories.net where you can bring up the COVER SHEET and paste in your story.
