You’re a good writer. You know it. Anyone who’s read your work knows it. Have you been thinking of entering a contest to prove to the world that you can write a winning short story?
Here’s a wonderful opportunity for you. The In Print writer’s group is holding their 1st annual writing contest. Your short story has to be 1000 words or less; poetry needs to be 30 lines or less, and the only other requirement is that your story or poetry must be something about writing…an author, a group, or perhaps how you beat writer’s block.
Will there be prizes? You betcha…there will be one $100 winner for each category. The deadline is June 10th, and the winners will be announced at the August 11th In Print meeting.
It’s $10 for members and $15 for non members. Checks should be made payable to In Print and sent to PO Box 2146, Loves Park , IL 61132. Make sure each submission you send in contains your entry fee, a cover letter with your name and contact information, and your story or poetry.
Do you have lots of stories you’d like to submit? That’s fine; just be sure to include a separate $10 or $15 fee and a cover page with each story.
We have three distinguished judges who will be judging in three categories: fiction, non fiction, and poetry.
You know you’re a good writer. Time to let everyone else know!
