WINNER 'Summer Loving' Themed Short Story Competition 2015 with Andrew Campbell-Kearsey


You can read John Bunting's winning story if you follow this link:
http://erewashwriterscompetition.weebly.com/winner-2016-summer-loving-with-andrew-campbell-kearsey.html


Thanks to all entrants to this competition and congratulations to John Bunting from Surrey. He won our 'Summer Loving' competition with his entry 'Anything and Everything'. 

Andrew's comments about John's entry:  I thought 'Anything and Everything'  was surprisingly dark and menacing, yet still keeping to the theme. It stayed with me in a way that the others did not.
 
John has won first prize which is Andrew's book 'Centurionman', and one free entry to our Open Short Story Competition 2016.

Thank you to all entrants to our 'Summer Loving' and '2015 Open' Short Story Competitions.  

The judging process continues and we are expecting a shortlist announcement for both competitions by the end of next week.  Results will be announced by the end of November.
