Can you write a story in just 50 words?

Each month Scottish Book Trust provides a prompt to get you started, but where the story goes from there is entirely up to you. This month the idea is to write a story set at a birthday party

The competition includes two categories, All-Age and Young Writers (under the age of 18). All stories will be judged by the same panel and both winning stories will be published on the website.

Whether you’re a seasoned writer or you’ve always fancied picking up a pen, why not give it a go?
