[B][U]Tata Litlive MyStory Contest 2014  [/U][/B]:
Literature Live’s My Story contest is all about giving upcoming writers – and their work – the importance due to them. Even among the unpublished writers of the literary world there is often gold to be found and My Story is Literature Live’s effort to find it; to give it the audience it deserves. It provides amateur writers with the experience of participating in a full-scale literature festival, an honour usually reserved for literary heavyweights, thereby challenging what is considered the norm. With an unprecedented number of submissions by amateur writers from all over the country, it is safe to consider My Story’s goal as achieved, in 2013, we got over 350 submissions from young writers across the country.

In 2014, we extend the opportunity to all you literatuers. Submit your short work of literature. It could be a story, poem, haiku or anything else in the written form. The audience and our judges decide if you can have it published in the litlive 2014 journal, and read it out at the festival.
