The 2023 YWSP has now closed  

The 2023 competition closed on 31st October 2023 and the Shortlist has now been announced.  We’ll be opening next year’s competition later in 2024, but it’s never too early to start on your story – we accept stories of between 800 and 2000 words, set any time before you were born. To get you started, you can find last year’s terms and conditions by clicking on this link: Ts and Cs 2023.

If you have any questions about the YWSP please do get in touch here , and you can also sign up for our newsletter here to get all the latest news.  Good luck and happy writing!
