Long time no see, litfarmers. Blogs, man. They don’t update themselves, do they? Err. Anyway.

The Federation of BC Writers is having a competition for short fiction: Literary Writes 2008. Deadline is right around the corner, July 1, 2008, and the entry fee is $20 ($15 if you’re a member). Any genre is acceptable, and prizes are $500, $300, $150, plus publication in WordWorks and an opportunity to read at Word on the Street, Vancouver’s annual downtown literary fest.

Good luck, and let me know if you enter.

It’s very late notice, but my inbox informs me that the Writers @ Work Competition deadline has been extended to March 15th, 2008. There’s an entry fee of $20 and they’re looking for poetry, fiction and non-fiction. See the guidelines for more details. First prize in each genre is publication in Quarterly West, a literary journal associated with the University of Utah, tuition to their June conference and $1,500. Not too shabby.

They’ll accept excerpts from a novel, so there’s really no excuse not to send in something. Angela.
