23.07.08 Graeme Neill

Waterstone's has revealed the four winning entries by its booksellers to its What's Your Story competition, which asked customers and booksellers to write a short story on an A5 story card.

The retailer received almost 6,000 entries, and the four winning bookseller entries will be published alongside story cards by the likes of J K Rowling, Sebastian Faulks and Neil Gaiman, as well as the four customer winners, in a special collection.

The limited edition postcard book will be sold in Waterstone's stores in August. All profits will go to Dyslexia Action and English PEN.

"These stories demonstrate the huge creative talent there is in Waterstone's and also the sheer love of storytelling that What's Your Story? has tapped into," said Waterstone's m.d. Gerry Johnson.


The bookseller winners are:

Tessa Farlow of Bath Waterstone's for The Day a Robot Appeared in the
Vegetable Patch

Gemma Laws of Waterstone's Durham for A Sense of Disappointment

Martin Kelly of Waterstone's Bradford University for Mr Darcy, We Hardly
Knew Thee

Ellis Ni Raghallaigh of Dublin Jervis Centre for How I Met Your Father
