Finally.
I know, I know.
It's that time of year we all look forward to.
The leaves begin to loosen their grip. The sky is pregnant with it's autumnal offerings.
Jon gets poetic.
But aside from all that - it's the bloody Failing Writers Five Hundred Pound Flash Fiction Competition, in association with Scrivener!
That's the bit we're really all excited about.
That's when Tommy and I hunker down, curl up and bask in your beautiful little stories.
(I'm not even joking here, it genuinely is a joyful experience.)
So have a listen to the episode - find out everything you need to know in order to enter the competition, including the little phrase you have to include in your story... and be in with a chance of winning that 500 squids!
This years judge is the delightful Sarah Lewis from writers HQ.
Sign up now for a whole smorgasbord of helpful stuff. Workshops. Advice. Masterclasses. and of course the brilliant (and free!) Flash Face Off. Which we urge you to join in with - After all, it could be the thing that takes your flash piece from great to really blummin' marvellous!
Finally we wrap things up with an unusual but brilliant bit of poetry from the very talented free-styling-street-poet: Isaiah Frati.
