Following the highly successful ‘Dear John, Dear Anyone …’ monologue writing competition which resulted in a dozen pieces being filmed by Creative Ink for Actors and £765 raised for charity, we are inviting submissions for short stories up to 2000 words on the theme of ‘Promises’.
This competition is being mounted in conjunction with the launch of Jan Moran Neil’s novel Blackberry Promises available on Amazon.
