Would you like to read work from the Kirkcudbright Book Week authors of tomorrow? Well, now you can because the winners have been announced in our short story competition for young writers from Dumfries and Galloway.
The competition, which ran for the second year, was one of the events for young writers linked to the annual Book Week, which saw a day of free events at the library to mark World Book Day, on Thursday March 6.
Entrants between the ages of nine and 15 were asked to provide examples of Flash Fiction, a form of very short fiction. The competition was run jointly by book week organisers the Kirkcudbright Book Week Society and Kirkcudbright Library, which is operated by Dumfries and Galloway Council.
You can find out who won, and read their winning stories, at
