Airedale Writers’ Circle has launched its adult open writing competition.
Anyone aged 14 or over is invited to submit manuscripts on a theme of their choice.
There are three categories — short stories up to 1,500 words; poems up to 40 lines and articles up to 1,000 words.
Entrants can make as many submissions as they wish — there is a £3.50 fee for the first entry and £2.50 for subsequent entries. Work must be original and not have been published, read on radio or performed on TV or stage.
A £50 prize will be awarded in each category and the Airedale Writers’ Circle Challenge Cup will be presented to the best overall entry from a circle member.
The name of this year’s judge is yet to be announced.
The closing date for entries is September 8 but submissions sent by post will be accepted later if postmarked by that date.
Winners will be announced and the challenge cup presented at the circle’s Christmas party, on December 8.
Entry forms — together with conditions for submission — can be obtained from Keighley, Skipton, Bingley and Ilkley libraries; Reids Bookshop, in Keighley, or circle secretary Maureen O’Hara, at 20 Glenhurst Avenue, Park Lane, Keighley BD21 4RJ, phone 01535 603119.

About the Book Reviews
Each book received gets an honest, complete read through and review. The reviews are not paid for - nor do we accept money for our service. The goal of this site - and each review - is to expose readers to books that they may not have been aware of but that deserve another look.
We only review books that we like. If a book is of poor quality, or lacks merit, we simply do not review it. We hope that readers explore our reviews and give these wonderful books a chance. They deserve it.
