The whole ethos behind Shortbread Stories is to encourage short story writing and to provide a worldwide audience for new writers. Each month we take the best of our submissions and we produce audio stories, using professional actors and recording studios. We’re asking for a short story based on the theme of Hometown tales. The winner will receive an accommodation-free place at Shortbread’s first  five day creative writers’ workshop at Finca El Tornero de Abajo, the beautiful house in the Sierra de Aracena Natural Park in Huelva Province that Robin Pilcher started as a Foundation of Creative Writing eight years ago.

The competition will close on September 15th, 2010,  at midnight.
