Some of you will know Printed Words was formerly a quarterly e-zine and magazine, dedicated to publishing poetry and fiction (with the occasional book review or excerpt) from writers all around the world. We switched to anthologies after six issues. Words to Remember was a charity anthology which raised several hundred £’s for various cancer charities. More recently, From the Shadows, combined crime with horror poetry and fiction, to reveal some of the ‘monsters’ which lurk in the shadows.

Now we are running a contest. The theme and the word count are open. All we want is good writing in whatever form that might be. There is an entry fee of £1 (or your equivalent currency, but it is open worldwide and there are many smaller prizes. Because any kind of entry fee can put off some writers who prefer to enter free contests, your chance of winning something could be higher than with a free entry contest. As a writer myself, I know I tend to put in more effort when the contest involves an entry fee.
