How do I know if my short story has been entered into the competition?
I have just entered the 1000 word competition online but I am unsure if it has been uploaded and sent. It showed that it was uploading but there wasn't a message or anything to tell me that it had been successfully entered. Could anyone let me know if it has been entered into the competition?
Thanks.

Go to the main page http://www.writers-online.co.uk/ , then login, then My Account link (at the very top of the purple header), then My Writing Competitions.
It should list any you've entered.
Just as an aside, after you've uploaded the file, you do still need to go to the shopping cart (at the top right) to complete the entry, and there's supposed to be a little popup window telling you this. Did you not get the popup/not go to the basket?
Let me know if you still have problems
Think it's a problem at our end, will investigate. In the meantime, please email the story with your details to [email protected]
Please could you email your entry to Lauren and in the meantime whisper your surname and postcode to me?
I entered, and successfully uploaded, the St Valentine's Short Story (paid) competition in March, if that's any help. None since I'm afraid! (Also a Subscriber's Only short story in May 2012.)
I'll email my 1000 word story to Lauren shortly, and in the meantime I've whispered my surname and postcode to you.
Thanks again for all your help.
