Welcome to the 2024 page 100 competition results page
​
I now have my long list of twenty page 100s. It took quite a lot of reading and re-reading, but I got there. I received 61 entries this year, which is a good number for my little competition. I do almost all of the work myself... including sending feedback for all 61 entries. I will be starting this work soon, beginning with all the writers who were not long-listed this time.
​
Please find below the writers who are on this year's long list. If a writer entered more than one page 100, I've included the first line of the page that is (or pages that are) long-listed.
The competition is (obviously!) no longer anonymous from this point, so please feel free to shout about it from the rooftops.
