This post is to announce a flash-fiction writing contest, where you can win a signed (or dedicated) Advance Reading Copy of Mark Lawrence’s highly anticipated new novel:

THE WHEEL OF OSHEIM

 which is provided as prize for this competition by ACE Books

 

.

The Rules:

Submit your entry, which is no longer than 300 words (without title)  and features the words ‘life’ and ‘death’ below.

The competition closes on 11th April 2016.  All entries will be posted HERE.

 

Judges of this competition are as follows:

MARK LAWRENCE

DAVID JACKSON

PETER NEWMAN

JOHN GWYNNE

SARAH CHORN

T.O. MUNRO

 

This is an international competition, open to everyone.

Please note: You won’t receive an automated email notification after submitting your entry. I will upload it onto the site as soon as I will have the time, which might be straight away, but might be just hours later or even the next day. If I have any questions or concerns regarding your entry I will email you. Please don’t re-submit your entry, unless it doesn’t appear on the site within 48 hours after submitting it.

Please don’t worry about any formatting related differences, they don’t always show properly due to technical issues. They will not affect the judging.

ACE only produces a small number of hardcopy ARC’s, so having been able to acquire one is a rare opportunity and we are very fortunate to have their support. The final instalment of the Red Queen’s War trilogy promises to be incredible and this collector’s edition is well worth competing for! Furthermore, the shortlisted entries will receive feedback from the judges.

Best of luck, everyone! – Agnes
