Hi there,
I've written a short story for the Arvon competition, for which the word count is maximum 2,000.
I'm quite happy with my story (I've spent a long time working on it), but the finished product is approx 1,200 words. As a newbie to short story competitions, I just wanted to know whether that is acceptable or whether that's considered 'shooting yourself in the foot' territory.
Thanks,
Charlotte
Thank you people!
I agree with Louise. The maximum is 2,000, so you can write anything up to, and including, that amount. If you're happy with your story, definitely send it.
Good luck.
Take the chance
All The Best :)
