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.

Did you know the NiTH Editorial Team has edited, proofread and provided feedback on over 7000 short stories, novels and works of flash fiction?

Our services are honestly priced, and all proceeds go to the administrative costs of running Needle In The Hay. Services include professional proofreading and editing on manuscripts of all lengths, and short learning courses with one-on-one tuition focused on practical skill building from short story to novel and serial fiction.

Needle In The Hay has helped over 500 authors on their journey to writing great fiction. See what we have to offer.
