- The judges are looking for writers who can weave words into pictures, creating a vivid imagination that can be felt. Take note of that as you write.
- Your work should not only excite the reader but also hold them in suspense.
- Please, endeavour to submit your original work. Stealing is bad.
- Severance Publications don’t like you submitting previously published work. Send in an unpublished work.
- There’s enough room for you to submit up to ten stories. But we advise you send in your best 3. You don’t want to bore the judges, do you?
- If you are sending in more than one story, kindly upload them individually.
- Ensure your email is valid and accessible. That’s where you’ll be contacted if you make the list.
