Commonwealth Writers inspires, develops and connects writers and storytellers giving voice to those less-heard or unearthed talents. The Commonwealth Foundation has just opened their call for entries for the Commonwealth Short Story Prize, focusing their energies in 2014 with greater financial resources.
‘My hope is that writers from across the Commonwealth will be encouraged to send us stories that bring news of wherever they are, in the wide variety of voices and accents that make up the English language,’ said Ellah Allfrey, Chair of the 2014 judging panel.
