The Final Challenge for the 2021 competition was:
Write a 1,500 piece of epistolary fiction.
Epistolary fiction is a popular genre where the narrative is told via a series of documents. You will have almost certainly encountered one of these books. Letters are most commonly used as a basis for epistolary novels but diary entries are also popular. The word epistolary comes from Latin where epistola means a letter.
The story related using letters and/or diary entries can be ANY GENRE — it is the STYLE we’re looking for.

So…who is it to be? YOUR VOTE decides!
The questions you must ask are: • Who used the style of epistolary fiction to the best effect? • Whose story had the most emotional impact? • Whom do you feel best deserves to be the winner of the Great Clarendon House Writing Challenge 2021?
