SugarRush

We're on the lookout for short, punchy stories (500 words or less) from the people of St Helens. Whether it's fiction, memoir, or even a bit of narrative poetry—we're into it.

SugarRush cannot pay you for sharing your work we're afraid, but we promise to create a smart, hyper-interesting printed handbill of the best writing around. Available in all libraries. 

Write it. Check it. Then send it our way. 

Submit HERE. (Max 500 words or 35 lines.) By AM on 20th November 2025.

Our guest editors will get back to you. Any questions? Contact us at ArtsService@sthelens.gov.uk

Many thanks,
The SugarRush team.
