An idea born at one of our readings, Stories at the Coffee Table, Volume One (SATCT-V1 for short) will have between its covers thirty-five previously unpublished short stories in - we hope - a variety of styles and genres.

Where are we getting all these stories from? We're holding a nation-wide contest. Read on. Or use the menu on the left.

If you're considering entering the contest, whatever you do, please don't forget to read the Technical Guidelines for submission, and the Terms & Conditions page.

Update: The contest will now stay open till 30th November 2004.
