The Tudor Ghost Story Contest is on again for 2008! Entered stories need to be at least 1500 words and no more than 3000 words. All stories must involve a Tudor Ghost(s) or Tudor characters.

Lara E. Eakins has very kindly agreed to help keep this great contest running. This year we are doing it a little differently than in past years - there will be a five-dollar ($US) entry fee for stories via the donation button on this page. This covers the costs of the contest (first prize is a signed copy of the judge's book); anything left over will be donated to World Vision.

Publication will be at Lara's very respected Tudor England site, on The History Bookshop, as well as on my web home at www.wendyjdunn. com.

This year's judge is Sandra Worth. Due for release in December, her fifth novel, The King's daughter, is about Elizabeth of York.

The contest will close on November 1, 2008 and the winning stories published in time for Christmas.

Please free to contact me (Wendy J Dunn at wjeandunn@yahoo. com.au) for further information.
