S5 Ep21: Flash Fiction Contest Runners Up 2025
About this episode
Hello writers. Just when you thought the competition was all wrapped up… this week we look at the almost-winners of our big annual comp.
Yep, these are the brilliant writers who made the shortlist, but didn’t quite manage to snaffle a place on Sarah’s podium.
And here are those five wondrously wizard-like word weavers:
Kieran Ahern
Jonathon Davies
Steven Stilbech
Stuart James Taylor
Jasmine Sears
Well done to them all, and keep an eye out for them in future!
All we need do now I think, is thank our beaaauuutiful sponsor Scrivener, without whom there would be no competition frankly. Or there would, but the prize would be a bag of chips, a pack of Dairylea Triangles and some post-it notes. So… you know…
Thank you very much Scrivener!
Who, aside from being a bunch of lovely people, also happens to be a really fantastic bit of writing software which you can secure for 20% less than the usual price, simply by using the code FAILING at checkout

Finally a massive well done to all of you who wrote one or more stories.
You’re all winners in our book.
