Based in Folkestone (H.G. Wells’ one-time home) this is an annual short fiction competition, for all ages but particularly promoting young writers.
Lee has twice been short-listed for the Grand Prize (senior competition), and was included in the anthology produced by the competition in 2013 and 2015.
Lee went over to the dark side in 2016 and was an active committee member and on the board of judges until the close of the competition in 2019.
A group promoting the local writers and poets of Thanet, in South-East England. Thanet Writers provides educational resources to new writers, workshops and critiquing, as well as publishing their work.

Lee is in their third anthology, Yellow, published November 2018 and hopes to be in the Green anthology scheduled for late 2019. Fingers crossed!
