Scare us silly with YOUR spooky story!

What? Wimpy kids, listen up – First News has teamed up with the one and only Jeff Kinney to launch a splendidly spooky writing competition!

You know Jeff – he’s the creator of the world-famous Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. He’s just released Rowley Jefferson’s Awesome Friendly Spooky Stories 2, a new collection of spooky stories involving Greg Heffley’s best friend Rowley. Now, he wants to read yours!

Here’s how to enter!

Jeff has sent us four spooky story starters (below) to get you going. Choose one from A, B, C or D. Then, take it from there yourself!

Complete a spine-tingling tale in 400 words, and email it in to us at [email protected], with Spooky Story as the subject, by 2 October. We’ll select a shortlist of our favourites and send them to Jeff. He will then pick his favourite.

The winner will bag a signed copy of Spooky Stories 1 and 2, AND we’ll print the winning story for all to see in the 30 October issue of First News!

To enter: email us at [email protected] putting ‘Spooky Story’, in the subject box or visit first.news/comps.
