Thanks to Carol Bevitt for pointing out this competition. Amazon would like to us to 'reimagine' Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. (Hmm, I can see why she noticed this one!) To take part you must be UK based and complete the story in up to 1,000 words.
Gosh. Add a modern twist to an entire novel and do it in a short story? Good luck with that. If you manage it, you stand a chance of winning a £2,000 Amazon voucher and a Kindle Fire.

So many possibilities :-) Thanks Carol and Patsy. Sounds like fun!
Hi Patsy - certainly an interesting subject ... and what a prize - cheers Hilary
I shall ponder on the possibilities while I tidy up my allotment this afternoon. Goodness, it's windy here today!
I've seen this everywhere, but this is for a children's story isn't it? That's me out.
Good luck with it!!!
It does - but such a tight word count to fit it into.
A very tempting prize indeed.
It's been windy here too - and rainy.
Children's stories are hard, aren't they? I've not mastered them.
I'm not sure I'm entering, Elizabeth - but I will if I come up with a suitable idea.
How lovely! Sorry I'm overseas.
I just saw that yesterday - sounds a big challenge!
Happy Writing to all who enter!
Anything with Carol in does tend to draw my attention, and I'm always happy to share potential opportunities with fellow writers, so thanks for spreading the news onward Patsy.
Good luck to all who enter.
I don't know if they run competitions for other ares? You'd think they would.
Yes. I'm sure they'll get lots of entries though.
And from me - think I'll sit this one out.
I can see how you'd notice, Carol.
I substituted .co.uk with .com but none came up!
Oh. That's a shame.
