The Dorothy Dunnett Short Story Award is a new prize for historical short fiction from the Historical Writers’ Association and the Dorothy Dunnett Society. The prize marks the reissue of Dorothy Dunnett’s historical novels by Penguin Books.
The competition is for original, unpublished short stories up to 3,500 words. The theme, genre and period are all up to the writer but all stories must be set at least 35 years in the past.
