We'll be offering publication in our Singles Club to all long-listed titles, as well as a choice of prize to the winner: either £500 or one-year's worth of editorial support for a writing project.

 

At Galley Beggar - like most small presses - finances mean that we can only ever publish a very small number of writers. But we're constantly looking at how we can support fine writing in other ways - and have introduced the prize as an sustainable way of nurturing originality, and offering a platform to the very best creative talent.

 

The GBP Short Story Prize is open worldwide and to both published and unpublished writers.
