THE Anansi Archive is a non-profit making writing community committed to supporting all levels of literary endeavour.

Whether you are an absolute beginner or a hardy veteran, published or not, who seeks a fresh outlet for your work, we aim to be another step on your path to progress.

In addition to running seasonal competitions we aim to publish up to four anthologies a year to help create a wider platform for your work. 

So why not join us in our literary adventure and enter a competition? And if you know of any other like-minded souls, tell them. Just get the word out!

BREAKING NEWS:

JUDGING of our Summer 2025 season competitions is complete and the top three selected from each category can be found  HERE. 

AFTER sixteen seasons of competitions, we have decided to make future contests a bi-annual event. Our next deadline therefore is February 28th 2026 – enough time for even the most ardent procrastinators, we hope! Entry fees will remain the same, starting at just £1 but we are considering whether we can raise the prize-money threshold. A little.  Even if you don’t claim any of the top prizes, your entry could be short-listed for our next anthology which we are ear-marking for the spring. Details of how to enter can be found HERE.

TAA writer, Denarii Peters, has just published  her first novel. You find out more about her and the novel HERE.
