WRITING COMPETITION

COMPETITION ENTRY FORM

IMPROVE YOUR WRITING

HISSAC can offer you a critical, unbiased opinion of your work, as well as advice on how to improve your writing, and help bring your stories and novels up to competition and publishing standards.

The service is subsidised by the Competition Entry fees, in order to keep prices low, and therefore available to all.

Three short stories (up to 10,000 words in total) £59
Up to 20,000 words of a novel, novella, or non-fiction work £69
A full length work, up to 100,000 words £99

Your work will be read carefully and thoroughly, and you will be given detailed editorial advice.
After this, you will be given time to read through and digest these comments, and have the opportunity to resubmit a second draught for final guidance and critique.

It is in all our interests to be as honest and conscientious as possible, our primary aim being to nurture and direct new writers in their chosen field, and give them the confidence to continue writing to the best of their abilities

Format Requirements

Work can be submitted by e-mail - in a word.doc attachment - although if sending a full length manuscript, a hard copy will also be required

In each case, we ask that work be paginated, single sided, double-spaced, and in a 12 point type, preferably Times New Roman.
