Raising the Stakes for the Short Story Contest

| writing | blogging |

Hey everyone!

I am raising the stakes for the short story contest, by adding two additional prizes. I was thinking that if a lot of people submit entries, it would be fair to have a 2nd and 3rd place prize.

So… the 2nd and 3rd place prizes are not as exciting as the Kindle itself, but perhaps will encourage more people to enter?

Short Story Kindle Contest Prizes:

1st Place - Amazon Kindle Wifi 2nd Place - 1 Year Subscription to Poets and Writers Magazine 3rd Place - $10 gift card to Amazon.com (Which is just enough to buy a great kindle book :D )

Look forward to seeing more submissions!

Best of Luck to all!

Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.
