On Friday the BBC announced the shortlist for this year’s National Short Story Award.
There’s a total of five shortlistees, and we’re delighted to see that two of them are Fiction Desk contributors. That’s almost half the list!
The two writers whose work has appeared in our pages are Danny Rhodes and Richard Smyth.
You can find out more about the award over on the BBC’s website. The winners will be announced on 19 October.
