Stringybark Publishing are proud to sponsor the Stringybark Times Past Award 2024.
This is our sixth historical fiction competition exploring this genre. The requirements for this competition are that your entry must be:
• 1500 words or fewer in length
• be based on a real event or events
• the event(s) must have occurred in Australia or had clear relevance to Australia; and
• the story must be accompanied by a 150 word or fewer, explanation of the 'real facts' behind the story.
We have an award pool of over $1070 in cash and books to encourage you in this endeavour, provided by our sponsors Stringybark Publishing.
All our historical fiction awards have required these four conditions and if you want to see how others have responded read one of our marvellous historical anthologies: Marngrook, Yellow Pearl, Stew and Sinkers, Longing for Solitude, Fault Lines or Golah Sing. All are rollicking good reads.
