Voting is now open for the Pick of the Month – your favourite poem or short story – for October 2015

Our shortlist of six is below (or see the Vote for your October 2015 Pick of the Month in the Categories list to your right on the screen). Half of these have come from our week long feature on Light for National Poetry Day, the remainder from the rest of the month’s postings. They have either been chosen by Helen and Kate or received the most attention on social media.

Voting is now closed.

The winner each month will be sent a £10 book giftcard or, if preferred, a donation of the same amount will be made to a chosen charity*. In the event of the winner being from outside the UK mainland, we will make every effort to provide a reasonable alternative.

(*Ink Sweat & Tears reserves the right to refuse certain charities if we feel they are too controversial.)
