To celebrate Halloween, we’re hosting a little mini-competition, with a chance to win £50 and a limited edition FAILING WRITERS PODCAST T-SHIRT!
Wooooooooooo!!!
(Sorry. Did I scare you? That was actually just supposed to be a wooo of excitement.)
All you have to do is write a spooky story using Twitter’s 280 character limit. (Which normally works out just over 50 words in case you’re wondering.) It’s quick, it’s fun and if you want a bit of inspiration, have a listen to Series 2, Episode 26, where you can hear our efforts.
What’s that? You’ve had a listen and think you can do better?
Of course you blummin’ can! So let’s ‘ave ‘em!
To enter, simply retweet our pinned tweet, then reply to it with your spooky little tale!
