Long-time Judges suggest that to get shortlisted, writers need to engage the reader within the first page. “If you don’t draw the reader into your story very quickly, they lose interest,” Judge said. “Be sure the entry is a ‘page turner’ with an economy of words and develop an intriguing, fast moving storyline.” You don’t have to be long winded. One year the winning entry was fewer than 900 words in length. Full details can be sourced from our website: tilligerry.com or by emailing enquiries to tace@tilligerry.com or on 49823986.
