The annual DWL Short Story Contest is back in 2018. We got a little late in announcing the contest this year, we know, but hope that the short stories we receive will live up to the high standard of quality set by previous editions of the contest.

The contest is open for writers around the world. There is no entry fee.

So what are you waiting for, writers? Start writing and submitting. The deadline for submissions is Friday, 7 Dec 2018. Please read the submission guidelines before you send in your entry.

The contest is proud to keep up its association with the annual Dastaan Award, a PKR 50,000 cash prize for outstanding creative writing. Read more about the Award on the DWL website.
