Creative Writing Monthly Prize Draw
Penpee.com, the online creative platform that empowers readers and writers to read, write, and get paid for short stories, offers members the chance to win big in a monthly prize draw.
The prize draw will offer one writer a chance to win a starting prize of £50 that increases as more writers enter the draw, as well as two smaller prizes of £10 each month.
The pot value will increase by £1 for every writer that submits a qualified entry into the prize draw.

The process is simple and straight forward:
All Penpee Prime members who submit any story in the month will get an automatic entry into the monthly draw, and every short story approved counts as an entry. There is no limit to how many short stories a member can submit.
Unfortunately, as much as the founder, with a passion for creativity, would like to, it will not be possible to offer free entries to everyone. Penpee.com has a growing list of members projected to exceed 8000 soon, and because the platform is self-funded through the founder’s own wages from working 8hrs night shift daily in a food factory, while maintaining the platform in the day with an expanding list of features, IT staff and not to talk of hosting resources.
There is a fee of £1 charged for every story submitted by a free member who wants their stories to count as an entry into the monthly draw.
The more stories a writer submitted and gets approved for, the more entries they have and the more writers that enter the prize draw, the bigger the pot value will be. The starting pot value of £50 could have been worth £200, less or even more before the end of the draw.
Every writer will gain a ticket into the monthly prize draw for every entry they submit and shall be notified of the winning ticket numbers which shall be selected at random at the end of the draw.

Penpee.com, which launched more than 6 years ago is the only platform of its kind that allows writers to make money from their short stories, and perhaps, it pioneers the concept of making money from your short stories for every qualified page that is read. The platform only accepts short stories and must be written in English.
Anyone who wishes to submit a story on the platform must have a valid profile photo, otherwise, their story will be removed without approval— It is a policy that was overwhelmingly supported in a recent survey of members of the platform, citing more credibility and trust to the writers who are proud to display their own image as an authority to their stories and to a greater extent helps to deter plagiarism.
Everyone can post a free story, but free members will need to have earned a reader’s token to post a paid story (although you do not need a reader’s token to post your first paid story). Prime members can post unlimited paid stories, and they do not need to require any reader’s token to do so.
Penpee.com gives one daily login credit to every member including the Prime members, in addition to their signup bonus credits which recurs every month they remain on the Prime membership. Additional credits can be purchased at any time.
Credits are charged as you read stories, converted to cash, and paid to the writers for every qualified page of their stories that are read.
