We’re here to disrupt the publishing industry and give every story its time in the sun. And what better way to show that we mean what we say than by shaking up the traditional short-story competition format?

Brief

The Fabel World Short Story Competition is a contest with a difference: there’s no brief. Rather than encourage you to write new short stories, it’s designed to help you breathe life into your back catalogue. What’s more, it carries one of the largest and deepest short story prize pools in the English Language.

The Competition

● A prize pool of AU$27,500 and a first prize of AU$16,000.
● Stories are longlisted by readers, not judges.
● The winners are decided by a public vote.
● We don’t ask for exclusivity, which means you retain the rights to your stories.
● You can upload multiple entries for a single fee. *
