The Editors of HINT, the newsletter of the Health Sciences Libraries Group are pleased to announce that the Christmas Fiction Competition is now open. Entries must mention books, libraries or librarians, however briefly, and be no more than 1,000 words.

The winner will receive a One for All Voucher for €100 and the Runner Up will receive a One for All Voucher for €50

Entrants must be a member of the Library Association of Ireland.

The winning entry will be published in the winter issue of HINT and the second-place entry will be published in the spring issue.

Please send your entries to jean.mcmahon@tuh.ie by the 25th of November. Jean will anonymise the entries and submit them to the judging panel. If you wish to remain anonymous and write under a nom de plume, you can do that too!  You can remain a mystery writer!

So, get that piece out of your bottom drawer or just start writing. You know you’ve always wanted to!
