Paignton Library Flash Fiction Competition 2023

“The last time Julie saw her brother he was on Paignton Green, buying candy floss from the man with the tattooed hands. That was 27 years ago.”

I am excited to be judging the inaugural Paignton Library Flash Fiction Competition! I have provided the opening, and entrants have 500 words to finish the story. The deadline for entries is 28th February 2023 and the winner will be announced at the Local Author Convention on Saturday 11th March.

I look forward to seeing what people come up with!
