Mark Billingham 'Have The Last Word’ Competition for the Hive Network
Posted by Hannah Hargrave in Blog, Competition news, Competitions, Sphere
Our very own bestselling author of Good as Dead, Mark Billingham, is currently fronting the ‘Have The Last Word’ competition. The competition is part of the launch of the new Hive Network, an initiative created by Gardners Books which allows independent bookshops to compete with the major online retailers sites by offering internet book buyers an innovative ‘shop local’ alternative for the first time.
Mark has penned the start of a special short story – a murder set in an independent bookshop – and budding writers are being encouraged to enter and then finish the story on their own. The winner, judged by Mark, will take home £1000 of Hive vouchers, with the winner of a readers’ poll receiving £250 of vouchers. The competition closes on Friday 4th November, so hurry!
You can enter the competition here to write your own gripping conclusion to Mark’s story. Mark has also provided some great writing tips here to get you started.
