NiTH Contests are unlike any writing contest you've entered. They are fast, friendly, and everyone who enters receives feedback from our team of editors & judges.

Structured as an ongoing series of weekly writing competitions based around a broad selection of writing prompts, Writers are free to enter any contest, and all authors receive feedback from our judges on what the liked (any what can be improved) in their work.

We’re asking authors to delve deep into the darker side of human emotion and memory in this Major Prize for 2018. Find the full details below.
