Hi

I have noticed that a lot of short story competitions just advise the word count, double line spacing on one side of A4 and numbered on the bottom of each page.

What about your name and the story title? Would you put that centred on the front cover or would you put you name and the title in the header of each page.

Hope you can help.

Lots of competitions are judged anonymously, so you shouldn't have your name on anything which means the story itself could be identified.

I'd second that. Name, contact details, title, word count on the front page. The only details you'd need in a header or footer are page numbers (essential) and title which are helpful if the pages get separated accidentally.

Thanks Both for the info.

I think that the regulations are quite specific in each competition and that you simply have to follow their rules.
