Hello,

Quick update: the 2009 Short Short Story Competition is here – your chance to win a Cirque du Freak prize pack. Due to popular demand we’ve extended the entry age range to 12 to 18. All you have to do is write a short story of 350 words or less containing these three things: “paramount”, “freak” and “violet”. Easy. Entries close on Monday 21 December. For all the details have a look here.

Have a good weekend!
