Company publishes its first short story e-anthology-

The team behind the monthly Global Short Story Competition has published its first e-anthology, featuring work by writers from all over the world.
Global Shorts contains 22 stories from writers who were successful entrants to the first year of the Global Short Story Competition.

Run out of North East England, the competition was launched two and a half years ago and attracts entries from Australia and New Zealand to the United States and Canada, from India and the rest of Asia to Continental Europe and the United Kingdom. It has already paid out more than £4,000 in prize money.
The anthology showcases some of the very best stories entered into the competition, which is run by Certys Limited, of Darlington, County Durham, which each month awards a £100 first prize with a £25 prize for the highly commended story.

The e-book can be purchased, at a price of £6.50, from the storefront at the company’s site globalwriters.net

Competition administrator, the crime novelist John Dean, said: “Global Shorts is a cracking read and we are delighted to publish it as an e-book. The quality of the stories emphasises why we set up the competition, to find new and exciting writers and give them the chance to be read. And to be able to pay royalties on each copy sold will give a real boost to the selected authors.

How to buy the book
The book is sold from globalwriters.net
Prospective purchasers have to register with the site (which is free) then go to the shopfront at the top and go into Sales and Subscriptions. They will then click on the anthology icon (the red one), which will take them through payment then the anthology will be emailed to them.
