New2theScene is a platform for the discovery of new or not yet familiar literary talent. They sell the books of authors who aren’t bestsellers (yet), promoting them through their podcast, articles, blogs, social media and so on. Their Winter Short Story Competition for unpublished writers will be open to entries from 5th January to 2nd March 2025. Although the cash prize isn’t as big as some out there, the winner will also be interviewed on the New2theScene podcast and given exposure on the socials, so it could be a great opportunity to get your writing out there.
