Short
Story
Competition
Online
Submissions
We are pleased to announce that we are now able to
accept online submissions to our competition, in
addition to continuing to accept entries by mail. We
have been accustomed to doing things the old-fashioned
way for so long -- 2010 will mark the 30th
anniversary of the competition -- that accepting stories
online seems like a bold step into a brave new world,
and while we have a bit of stage fright we do believe
that this additional option of submitting your stories
will help save a few trees in the long run.
Below
please
find
what
we
trust
are
rather
simple
guidelines
for
online
submissions:
Online Submission Guidelines:
All
submissions must meet the requirements set forth in our
regular guidelines.
Stories must be original, unpublished fiction. Word
count: 3,000 words or less.
Stories
must
be
submitted
in
Microsoft
Word
Document
format,
as
an
attachment.
Please
do
not
send
your
story
in
the
body
of
an
email.
Each
story
must
be
accompanied
first
by a
cover
sheet
that
includes
the
writer's
name,
the
title
of
the
story,
his
or
her
complete
mailing
address,
e-mail
address,
phone
number,
and
the
word
count
of
the
work
submitted.
The
authors
name
should
not
appear
on
the
story.
Only
the
title
should
appear
on
the
manuscript.
Writers
may
submit
multiple
entries,
but
these
must
be
submitted
as
separate
Microsoft
Word
documents,
with
separate
cover
sheets
and
separate
entry
fees.
