THE GALLEY BEGGAR PRESS STORY STORY PRIZE 2019/20 IS NOW OPEN TO SUBMISSIONS.
JUDGES
This year, the directors of Galley Beggar Press will be joined by three new judges: Arifa Akbar, Toby Litt, and Todd McEwen.
PRIZES
For the 2019/20 Prize there are three tiers of awards:
-
The WINNER of the 2018/19 Short Story Prize will receive a cash prize of £2000.
-
SHORTLISTED authors will each be awarded £150.
-
Each LONGLISTED author will receive £50 of bookshop vouchers, plus a 4-book subscription to Galley Beggar Press.
COST OF ENTRY
Entry costs £10 per story. The proceeds of the prize pay for the administration costs of the prize, and also raise essential funds for Galley Beggar Press (allowing us to continue to focus on new, ambitious and ‘risky’ authors).
