We are pleased to announce a brand new writing competition for this year's Festival, in collaboration with the Surrey-based e-publishing company, Commutabooks. 
Our competition is open to both new and established authors. We are looking for short stories that inspire and uplift readers to make the most of their days and their lives.
Commutabooks specialise in producing interactive eBooks for smartphones like the Apple iPhone, Google Nexus and the many eReaders such as the Amazon Kindle and the Apple iPad.
Commutabooks is the brainchild of local author and author's mentor Tom Evans who is also known as The Bookwright. They are designed to be read, listened to and watched in a single commute.
The prize is to convert the winning story into an "App" so it can be downloaded worldwide from the Apple iTunes store and read on the Apple iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. The App will also have a professionally recorded audio track so it can be listened to AND a video interview with the author. The prize also includes cover design, structural and copy editing and page design and layout.
As an example to inspire you, you can download one of Tom's self-penned narrated stories for the iPhone:
