Ack! I just stumbled across Narrative Magazine’s Fall Fiction contest, deadline November 30. If you’ve got something ready to rock, why not send it in? Submissions are electronic, you’re already sitting at your computer… I’m just saying.
As always, we look for works that have a strong narrative drive, with characters we can respond to as human beings—works in which the effects of language, situation, and insight are intense and total, and whose authors have the ambition of enlarging our view of ourselves and the world.
Cash moves everything around me, is what you’re thinking. And you wouldn’t be wrong. The prizes:
First Prize is $3,000, Second Prize is $1,500, and Third Prize is $750. The prize winners will be announced in Narrative and will be eligible for publication. Additionally, ten finalists will receive $100 each. We’ll announce finalists in the magazine as well. All entries will be considered for publication.
See the contest page for submission details. Entry fee is $20. Dolla-dolla bill y’all.
