That’s right you beautiful beings, another year another Morning Coffee Writing Competition with Morning Coffee!
The Morning Coffee Writing Competition was created in 2020 in association with Sonder Magazine to fundraise for the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre. For those who aren’t aware of their services, the RCC offer a free, confidential listening and support service for women and men who have been sexually abused at any time in their lives. They also run prevention campaigns. Please do consider donating directly at https://www.drcc.ie/donate.
We’re delighted to welcome Kevin Power as this year’s guest judge. Kevin Power is a writer and academic who has been awarded the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature. He teaches in the School of English, Trinity College Dublin. White City, his highly acclaimed new novel, is out now.
The winning story will be published on Sonder’s website and in Issue VI of the magazine, and the winner will receive a book voucher for an independent bookshop of their choice to the value of €20. The stories to place second and third will be published on Sonder’s website.
All proceeds will go directly to the RCC.
Submissions will open on 17th June at 9am.
