Writer’s Digest: 11th Annual Short Story Competition

Posted on 17. Jul, 2010 by Michele in Writing Opps

It’s that time of year again, time for the Writer’s Digest Short Story Competition. The “short” of the matter is below (I know, I know. Hilarity is a gift):

We’re looking for fiction that’s bold, brilliant…but brief. Send us your best in 1,500 words or fewer. But don’t be too long about it—the deadline is Thursday, December 1, 2010.

PRIZES:
First Place: $3,000 and a trip to the Writer’s Digest Conference in New York City
Second Place: $1,500
Third Place: $500
Fourth Through Tenth Place: $100
Eleventh Through Twenty-Fifth Place: $50 gift certificate for Writer’s Digest Books

* The names and story titles of the First-through Tenth-Place winners will be printed in the May/June 2011 Writer’s Digest, and winners will receive the 2011 Novel & Short Story Writer’s Market and Agents, Editors, and You: The Insider’s Guide to Getting Your Book Published. Plus, all First through 25th place winners will receive a free copy of the 11th Annual Writer’s Digest Short Short Story Competition Collection.
