Winning the competition will see Sam fly to Hollywood later this year to take part in a writing course run by top authors.
His story, penned in coffee shops in Market Harborough, will also feature in the book ‘L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 39,’ alongside some 12 other stories and essays by other authors.
