Short Story Prize 2020
Thank you for all the wonderful, imaginative and creative entries sent into our Short Story Prize this year. We had such a fabulous response, and the quality was extraordinary. This year we did things differently. We asked you to use your creative writing skills to write a story (under 1000 words) with an unexpected ending. The winners were chosen by this year's judge, bestselling author William Boyd.
