About

StorySloth is a new home for original short fiction. Free to read, and built around the idea that independent authors deserve real readers.

To kick things off, we're keeping it simple. Five hundred words. No theme, no genre restrictions, no prompt. Just a story, complete and under the limit. Sign up, publish your entry, and if it wins, you'll walk away with a £50 Amazon voucher and a permanent Founding Author badge on your profile — a small mark that you were here first.

We'll also be randomly selecting 5 entries to receive a £10 Amazon voucher.

Prizes

Top price: £50 Amazon voucher + A permanent founding author badge on your StorySloth profile. Plus 5 randomly selected stories will receive £10 in Amazon vouchers.
