NOVELLEA'S SPONSOR PICK
Mark Mcmichael
'Farmer of Death' is Novellea's own pick from our Halloween Prompt, winning a Halloween shirt and a free year of Novellea.
"After retiring military service, Mitch seeks a peaceful life on a farm. But his dream begins to sour when a sinister scarecrow appears to hold the key to his success, and demands a terrible price."
Why we picked it
“Dark, complete and assuredly told, this is a Faustian bargain in a cornfield and a deserving winner. When Mitch finally nods at the scarecrow and pronounces their pact ‘fair,’ you understand that the most frightening thing on that farm was never the creature on the pole.”
Weekly Prompts
Every Monday, readers choose a one-line prompt. Writers have a week to turn it into a story, readers vote for their favourite, and the winner becomes Author of the Week, featured right here.
This week's prompt is
"The government is ruined by voodoo."

Why novellea
Stories worth your time.
Creators who deserve better.
The news was grim, social media wasn't the answer, and a new baby meant uninterrupted hours with a novel weren't happening. Short stories felt like the solution, but there was nowhere good to find them.
The platforms online made readers pay to unlock each story (or worse, each chapter) and still didn't treat writers fairly. One author had 40 million reads on a single story and had received just £40 in payment. That's what made a better version feel worth building.
Writers are where everything starts. Every story, film, and idea worth talking about begins with someone who had to write it. Novellea exists to back them, and in turn, give readers somewhere worth being.
