Tinsel Tales is calling for flash fiction stories of no more than 250 words (including the title!)
Christmas blessings, Christmas nightmares or just Christmas Grumbles, the theme is wide open, but you must set your story against a Yule tide backdrop.
You may also add a photograph or other graphic to give your story added impact, but this will not play any part in final judging!
Tinsel Tales is limited to 100 entries!
To be sure of a place register now and then submit your entry before the closing date, 31st December.
You will not be allowed to forget as we will send out a reminder approximately 1 week before the closing date!
Tinsel Tales is open to ALL WRITERS irrespective of where they live!
