The Crime Writers Association Margery Allingham Short Story competition was set up in 2013 to celebrate the short story and Margery Allingham’s contribution to crime writing. Supported by the Margery Allingham Society the CWA are delighted that this competition will run annually.
The competition is open to all – both published and unpublished authors- and is for UNPUBLISHED short stories of up to 3,500 words.
The winner will receive £1,000 sponsored by the Margery Allingham Society. Margery Louise Allingham (20 May 1904 – 30 June 1966) was an English writer of detective fiction, best remembered for her “golden age” stories featuring gentleman sleuth Albert Campion.
