Short Story Contest!

It is time for another short story contest. But this time the winning stories will be compiled into a anthology book!

The main goal is get the winning writers some great exposure, but we will also share revenue from each sale of the book with the writers.
Stories are due by Feb 1, 2015. That gives a good amount of time to get the word out about this contest and for those interested in competing some time to write and proofread a great story.
Here is the link to the contest announcement with the details and entry form:
Calling All Writers! Short Story Contest!
The URL of that page is:
Code: Select all
http://onlinebookclub.org/short-story-contest/
If you are a writer, please sign up and give it your best shot. Otherwise, please help me spread the word about this, especially if you know any aspiring writers. Twitter it; Facebook it; Email it; Tell your friends! Thank you!

Hi Scott! Just noticed that this post is new about half an hour ago. Is the deadline really on Feb 1, 2014? Or is it on Feb 1, 2015?

Yes, it was a typo. I'm not used to writing 2015 yet. I fixed it.

Hello Scott! I have a question about the short story contest...would I possibly be allowed to have the characters be two men in a relationship? Or is it strictly girl/boy stories?

Two men is fine. Girl/boy is okay. But no lesbians.
I'm just kidding. I don't care as to the gender of the people in your story.

Alright I'm in. Will check theme tonight when kids go to sleep. Less sleep is the only chance for getting things done since I have 3 kids under 4. Let the cream rise to the top.
