Thank you to everyone who entered our competition.  We’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading through the wide range of ideas produced in response
to the theme of ‘BURST’. 

We're a little behind in sending out the mini crit/basic crit/ detailed crit (whichever you opted for).  Our apologies.

We have showcased the winning stories on a Facebook page ‘Writing Workshops and
Competitions’ https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Writing-Workshops-and-Competitions/182306558595298?fref=ts

and you will also find a my blog in existence with the same title

Don’t forget our Open Short Story Competition is inviting entries until September.  We have separate entry categories for newbies writers/the unpublished,
and another for the more experienced.  As well as rewarding six winners with cash prizes, we’ve organised this competition so that
with every entry you can choose a charity you’d like our cash donation to go to.

If your story is not listed here, please don't be discouraged. 
Writing for competitions is one of the best ways to hone your storytelling skills so please keep writing.

I wish you well with your writing and look forward to reading you again soon.  
Best wishes,
Debbie Wilkinson
