Margery Allingham Short Story Competition




The international Margery Allingham Short Mystery Prize is a competition open to all – both published and unpublished authors from all over the world – and is for short stories written in English of up to 3,500 words. All that we ask is that: the story was originally written in English; has not been previously published anywhere; has not been shortlisted for this competition; or won any other competition.
