Writing Competitions on ChapterChase
ChapterChase runs themed writing competitions for web novel and short story writers. Each round sets a theme, for example spooky tales in October, and entries are published on ChapterChase where readers can find them. Whether you are a seasoned novelist or writing your first story, a competition is a deadline, a prompt and an audience in one.
Participating in our monthly events helps authors sharpen their skills through themed prompts and constructive community feedback. Winners are featured prominently across Chapterchase, helping their stories reach thousands of new readers.
