As part of the National Year of Reading and to tie in with the Birmingham Library Service’s Write the Future events, Birmingham Writers’ Group is launching a short story competition which is open to everyone.

We’re looking for well-written and original stories of less than 2 500 words set in Birmingham’s past, present or future. We want stories that move us, surprise us, engage us and make us smile
