247 Tales

by Zoë Bestel on August 16, 2010

So, very short post. I should’ve posted it sooner because the website will probably change by tommorow morning – But I came runner up in a short stories competition and have been published by Bloomsbury on their 247 Tales website! Brilliant huh? Woo Hoo!

Click here to see my entry, 5th down. It’s says Zoe, Age 12 – But I am now 13. Woo for my birthday :D

Tell me what you think in comments, much appreciated.

Very good, Zoe! I liked yours a lot – certainly something I would have continued reading.

Congratulations!
I thought your piece was great! I wish I could write like that!
Was this competition an inner school thing?
Congratulations again,
Lois

Thank you! No this wasn’t an inner school competition, it was run by Bloomsbury. (The publishers of J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter!)

Thank you so much. It is also something I would love to carry on writing, but only when I find the time – Too many books to read at the moment! :D

Hi there Zoe. Found your site by scrolling down after typing in 247 tales, a competiton I’ve been entering for three months now I think. It’s quite a coincidence because I came a runners up in the May competiton, ‘the Lie’. Unfortunately I haven’t managed to read your story because the link took me to the Bloomsbury publishing sign in. But congratulations.

Thank you and that’s pitty – I’ll paste in the story. They must’ve changed the link. :(
Well done! Do tell me when you have won a competition!!!
Good Luck,
Zoë x
