About the Short Story Radio Romance Award
Short Story Radio is proud to announce the Short Story Radio Romance Award 2010. This exciting and innovative new writing competition offers romantic fiction writers the chance to have their work recorded and broadcast, as well as to receive a cash prize.
We are looking for an engaging and entertaining romance story, told in two parts of no more than 5,000 words in total, similar to the type of romance story you will find in a women's magazine.
The winning story will be recorded and broadcast, in two episodes, on the Short Story Radio website and podcast. It will be recorded by a professional actor and will be a high quality production, complete with incidental music, made to the same standard as the stories already broadcast on Short Story Radio. The story will be available for broadcast for a period of 12 months.
The winner will also receive a cash prize of £150 (approx. $235 USD) and the title of winner of the Short Story Radio Romance Award 2010. The short-list judge for this competition is Pat Richardson, founder of Perfectly Worded Writing and Editing Consultancy and former Fiction Editor at Best magazine (UK). |
