Excited to announce that my short story “The Birthday Party” will be published in “Not As It Seems: A Gothic Anthology”, coming out this September!

In Victorian London, a woman prepares a birthday party for her young son. But what are the strange noises she hears coming from the house next door?

Just name all of them - it'll be quicker 😆

The one with the fizzing out ending. My ending was a change of tone from the rest of the piece and I wasn't happy with it, but at the same time I couldn't really get it out of my head and so it stuck 🙈

Ah yes, that makes sense!

And do you decide the shortlist and the winner before you release the longlist? (Sorry, it's my first time entering so not sure how it works)

This is so much earlier than I expected! Does this mean results will be released much earlier than 8th June?

But what if your ending was a darling you just couldn’t bring yourself to kill? 😜
