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,

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."
