The top three short stories from our most recent competition are online now. And they couldn’t be more different.

We’ve got a brilliant and magical tale of hope in our winning story, The Lodger; a quirky tale of Ms Molly that packs quite a punch; and Dead Letters, a story set over 100 years ago that is sadly so pertinent today.

See our StoryTime pages for all our winning stories, and the full list of Highly Commended stories from the March 2022 competition.

Thanks to everyone who submitted entries for that competition, and of course our new competition is underway. Closing date is 30 June. Click here to enter now.
