Callout for Submissions

Here are a handful of upcoming submission deadlines I thought some of you might want to check out: 

Every Day Fiction's January Table of Contents says that - "Moving forward, we need those Valentine stories (or anti-Valentine) stories by January 27th at the latest, and don’t forget to mark them Targeted so we can find them." Not much time left on this one. 

(I've got a story in the works, but I'm struggling with the title. Any suggestions for how to come up with a good one? Fingers crossed, I'll be able to sub it in time.) 

*****

The First Line's Spring deadline is February 1st so don't wait too long to check it out. Plus, you can see all the upcoming "first lines" and their deadlines for the rest of the year.

*****

Flash Fiction Chronicles "is  having its fifth annual contest—String-of-10 FIVE—for the best 250-word story written from a specific prompt.  At 12:01 on Sunday morning, February 3rd, we will post  a string of ten random words and a thought-provoking aphorism as our contest prompt.  Entries will be accepted during the designated time period  using our SUBMISSION MANAGER.  Guidelines and List of Prizes forthcoming."

Good Luck!

  2. Great links. I'm a lazy competition enterer - if I have something that fits, I enter; if I don't, I don't. In this case, I don't :-(

  3. Simon - I would definitely check out the FFC one. I entered one year and received an Honorable Mention. Another year, I didn't place at all. You just never know! :)

    Annalisa - if you check out The First Line's site, you'll see all the upcoming deadlines for the rest of the year. Maybe you could start working on something now, aim for one of those? That's what I'm doing. :)

  4. Thanks for the reminder about String-of-Ten, again. What would I do without you? I promise to actually put it in my calendar this year so that I don't forget again.
