The winning stories from the Frome Festival Short Story Competitions which I and Jonathan Lee judged are now up on the website, and most of them can be downloaded and read.
The best of the stories were wonderful, and all of them are really well worth a read, not just because reading good writing is never, ever time wasted, but also because if you're thinking of entering competitions, it gives you an idea of the kind of standard that you're up against.
