It’s been a while since I last hosted a writing contest so I think it’s time for another one!

Our theme once again is Micro Fiction.

That’s stories of 500 words or less.

No entry fee required.

Up to 50 entrants will be allowed to compete for fabulous prizes.

2. Must be a subscriber to the Amid the Imaginary newsletter

3. Story must be 500 words or less and in one of the genres of the blog (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Paranormal, Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic, Steampunk)

4. One entry per person and once submitted the entrant cannot resubmit

5. Story format must be in PDF

DEADLINE to submit: Noon, 12:00 pm (U.S. Central Standard Time) on Monday, August 22nd. No exceptions.

Email your submission to FineFablesPress@gmail.com, Subject: Writing Contest Submission
