DigiWriting has partnered with the Rotary Club of Stratford to support emerging writers, indie authors and literacy in an annual Short Story Contest where winners will be announced during the Stratford Writers Festival each October.
In 2017 we are hosting the FREE Short Story Contest winners celebration to kickstart our festival on the first day just before the A Means to an End: Keeping a Series Alive panel discussion with Eric Walters, Richard Scrimger and Shane Peacock. The Rotary Club of Stratford will present the cash prizes to the various winners followed by photos, sandwiches and refreshments in the main lobby at 5:30 p.m. View the shortlist to see if you know someone on the list!
