Short story website with free resources containing writing tips, advice and lists of writing competitions. I help other writers develop and get published.

ME
I was born in the 70s, which is too long ago for my liking.
I played drums in a rock band for 15 years and was fortunate enough to tour all over the world. I’m sure this was more educational than university or a ‘proper job’ could have been.
After the band stopped being a profession and became a hobby, I started writing fiction. I self-published my first book, Wicked Game, in 2010. To avoid a mental breakdown, I then started writing short stories as they’re a lot easier to finish.

HOW TO WRITE A SHORT STORY, GET PUBLISHED & MAKE MONEY
Due to my success with short story writing, I recently wrote and released a book called How To Write A Short Story, Get Published & Make Money. It uses my published stories as case studies, so writers can see how all the different tips and advice in the book were used in practice to achieve publishing success.
You can order a free sample of the book on my site here: http://www. christopherfielden.com/books /how-to-write-a-short-story. php

TO HULL & BACK HUMOROUS SHORT STORY COMPETITION
I also run the ‘To Hull & Back’ humorous short story competition, which offers the greatest prize in the known macrocosm. Part of it is cash (the top prize is currently £1, 000), but there is more… much more. You’ll have to check my website for full details.

My website contains many free resources to help authors develop their short story writing and see their words in print.
The site contains lots of practical advice based on real-life writing and publishing experience. It also contains lists of potential publishing markets for authors to submit to, including writing competitions and short story magazines.
