Calling all fiction writers! Can you write a spooky tale featuring a festive phantom? If so register now for the Christmas Chillers short story competition.
Don’t let Dan Brown’s book influence your ideas when it comes to our latest Arena competition! With Hallow’een just around the corner, we’re looking for hair-raising poems featuring either Angels and or those other chappies!
Travel, they say, broadens the mind, but how and whose mind? Our latest Arena competition is looking for a piece of flash fiction featuring a traveller with very little luggage!
What a contest! All the 100 places were snapped up shortly before the closing date which was somewhat surprising as Novel Beginnings really made you work hard. As well as a 2,500 word chapter, entrants also had to submit a well thought out, 500 word synopsis. We didn’t expect quite so many people to rise to the challenge! The fact that you did certainly gave our judge and shortlisters something to think about which meant we’re a little late getting out the results as we wanted to make sure every entry received proper consideration.
Well maybe the weather, at the moment, isn’t exactly the epitome of our warmer months, but why should that stop us from writing about it?

Have you ever wondered what would have happened if Guy Fawks and his cronies had succeeded in blowing up the Houses of Parliament? Or if it was William that got one in the eye instead of Harold?

Crystal balls at the ready! Writelink’s Arena competition wants you to put your protagonist into the not too distance future and give us a glimpse of the world through their eyes.
Sarah James almost re-wrote the history of our open poetry competition by entering three poems and taking First and Third places and Highly Commended with the third! Only the ever consistent Jay Smedley prevented Sarah from making a clean sweep!
