PERFECTLY FORMED SHORT STORY COMPETITION
Perfectly Formed is our first short story competition, in
association with Pan Macmillan and the Arvon Foundation.
We're looking for the best short story of 2,000 words or less.
All our readers are eligible, as long as you're over 16 and haven't
had fiction professionally published before. Your short story can
be about any subject and in any fiction genre, be it drama, comedy,
crime, historical or modern - just make it punchy, original and
imaginative. Limit 2,000 words. Deadline July 1, 2010.

The winner will see their work published in the October issue of
Books Quarterly to our readership of more than a quarter of a
million, and online at www.macmillannewwriting.com,
www.arvonfoundation.org, Wbqonline.com and Waterstones.com. But
that's just the start. The winner will be invited to attend an
exclusive publisher's lunch with Will Atkins, Editorial Director
at Pan Macmillan, and author James McCreet to gain feedback and
ideas on where to take their writing career in the future. And
just to top things off, they will receive £200-worth of quality
reading from Pan Macmillan of their choice. To develop skills, the
winner will also receive a place on a week-long Arvon Foundation
creative writing course of their choice.

The prize includes all tuition, food and accommodation. During the
week, the winner will have plenty of opportunity to spend time
working on their own writing, as well as taking part in workshops,
readings, and a one-to-one session with a course tutor. The three
best runners-up will receive concise written feedback on their
entries, which will be published online, as well as winning £50-
worth of Pan Macmillan books.
No entry fee.
