Our current short story competiton is still open, with the deadline being the end of April. And we realised here at CAHQ that this month is the 5th anniversary of the beginning of our writing competitons! To celebrate, we’re reposting some of our past winners that we’ve published over the last five years. If you follow us on twitter you’ll see them and have a chance to read again these brilliant short stories. Or you can just head straight to our published Winning Stories page from here!
Website Regeneration…
Regular readers of our site can’t fail to have noticed we’ve had a huge overhall, with a sleak new look and design to our website. We feel it looks cleaner and more sophisticated and, we hope, makes it more user friendly. It also highlights some of the additional projects we’re planning to develop over the coming months, including our new literary agency department.
