The Fiction Desk Newcomer Prize 2015: The Winners

The Newcomer Prize received a fantastic selection of entries, touching on a variety of themes, ideas, and styles, and has therefore been exceptionally tough (and rewarding) to judge. But judged it has been, and I’m now delighted to announce the two winners of the 2015 Newcomer Prize.

The winners are:

First place (£500 prize): Mark Newman, for the story ‘Before There Were Houses, This Was All Fields’.

Second place (£250 prize): Tim Dunbar, for the story ‘David Bowie’.

The two winning stories will be published in our next anthology, due this spring. They’re both excellent stories, and I’m looking forward to sharing them with you.
