Winners of the Litro & Stanfords summer stories competition

This summer, Litro teamed up with Stanfords, the travel bookshop in Covent Garden, asking for your wildest and strangest holiday, adventure, or travel experiences in less than 201 words—basically, to fit onto a postcard.

Now that summer’s over, we’ve sifted through the drifts of electronic “postcards” you’ve sent in, and these lucky writers came out on top:

• David Midgley with “Tobago Adventure” (You can read this on the postcard below.)

• Vanessa Woolf with “The Heights of Abraham”

• Graham Buchan with “The Fjord Question”

Each of them will receive a copy of Martin Parr‘s fabulous photographic book, Martin Parr Postcards. In addition, the winning story will be published on the websites of both Litro and Stanfords, so well done Mr Midgley!
