The Palimpsest project is running a competition for work inspired by Edinburgh
Writers are invited to create a piece of prose fiction inspired by Edinburgh's rich literary history and/or its geography and urban development, with the starting point being a map or a text. All styles and genres are acceptable, but each submission must be prose fiction under 3,000 words.
One winner will receive £250 and their work will be published online as part of the Palimpsest project, which is a collaboration between literary scholars, computer scientists and information visualisation scholars to create an interactive website exploring the multi-layered literary city.
The competition is free to enter.
The closing date is 30 January.
