WINNERS OF THE SOUTH WALES SHORT STORY COMPETITION 2014

We are pleased to announce the winners of the South Wales Short Story Competition. Congratulations to Andrea Wotherspoon from Caithness in Scotland. Her entry Breaking the Surface was the judges' favourite. 

Hayley Cox, senior publishing coordinator at Candy Jar Books, said: "The response to our competition once again has been breathtaking. Entries have come from all over the United Kingdom. We are truly a national event and we are especially pleased that one of our Celtic cousins has won the top prize."

Following a lengthy and difficult judging process, twelve short stories have been chosen for publication including Andrea Wotherspoon's winning entry. 

 

Sarah Evans (Welwyn Garden City), Tony Mayle (Alton) and Jane Collins (Bridgend) have also been highly commended for their entries.
