IF YOU’VE BEEN scribbling short stories that have yet to be seen by other eyes, the RTÉ Short Story Competition is the competition for you.
The annual awards are open again – and the top three winners will have their stories featured on
TheJournal.ie.
Writers have until Friday 7 May, 2021 to submit their short story to this year’s competition, which will be judged by writers Lisa McInerney, Declan Hughes and Lucy Caldwell.
Image of a writer, please! The writer is someone hunched over a keyboard in a dingy attic. The writer s complexion has an unhealthy pallor from spending too much time in said attic. The writer blinks short-sightedly when dragged reluctantly into the light. The writer so described is clearly not, emphatically not, Tanya Farrelly, author and teacher.
The woman with the blonde hair instantly lights up your reporter s screen when the Zoom call connection comes alive. The room from which she is talking is far from being a dusty garret. She has the good fortune instead to reside in a house overlooking the seafront in Bray. This is where she is happy to be.
