The Hysteria Writing Competition, run by and supporting the work of the Hysterectomy Association, is inviting entries.
The competition is in three categories: poetry (up to 20 lines, first prize £75), short stories (up to 2,000 words, first prize £150) and flash fiction (up to 250 words, first prize £75). The winners and nine runners-up in each category will be published in an anthology. All entries must be by women writers, must be original and unpublished, and may be on any subject relevant to women except horror or erotica.
Send entries as doc, docx, rtf or txt file. The writer’s name must not appear on the manuscript.
