£150 gift card for intu Chapelfield
Visitor passes for attractions in Norwich
Publication & interview on the City of Stories website

All shortlisted writers will be invited to the Bloody Brunch on Sunday 18 September, a gathering of readers, writers and bacon sandwiches at the 15th century Dragon Hall, home of Writers’ Centre Norwich. The winner of the competition will be announced during the afternoon event.

Your story must be inspired by or set in Norwich but otherwise there are no rules, so let your darkest ideas run wild!

Norwich’s winding, cobbled streets, ancient churches and crooked medieval architecture provide the perfect inspiration for writing a crime thriller. Take a look at the City of Stories website from VisitNorwich to find out about the city’s rich literary heritage:

• Inspirational writing spots
• Norwich’s hidden libraries
• A history of Norwich writers
• Exploring local legends and folklore
