Real acceptances, checked by a person
In their own words
How they got in
The first stories are on their way
Every story here is real and checked, so this page starts empty and grows one acceptance at a time. Were you accepted? Yours could be the first.

1
The writer shares it
What they won, the year and a short story, with their acceptance letter or email as proof. The proof is private: only our team sees it.
-
2
Personal details come out
Names, emails, phone numbers and ID numbers are taken out, and the writer can hide more words. They see exactly what will be public and approve it.
-
3
A person checks it
Someone on our team compares the acceptance letter with the story, then publishes it or declines it. The proof is deleted right after.

It stays the writer's
They choose whether their first name shows and whether their letter joins the library, and they can withdraw everything at any time.
