Write a Great Flash Fiction Story (by September 4) and Win a Cash Prize
Ligonier Valley Writers is looking for short-short stories about
witches, wizards and warlocks for its fifth annual Flash Fiction
Contest. Ed Kelemen, chair of the contest, announces that the
deadline for entries has been extended to midnight (the witching
hour) on September 4. Flash fiction stories must be less than 1,000
words long. The first-prize winner will receive $50, second prize
$25, and third prize $15. There is no entry fee. All winning entries
will be published online at LVWs website. The theme is always
something scary (last year shapeshifters, in 2008 zombies, in 2007
vampires, etc.) because the winners are also read aloud before
Halloween. They will be performed at the Greensburg Hempfield Area
Library on October 2 and at Barnes & Noble later that month.
Humorous scary stories are always welcome. Please send your story in
the body of an email to
ed.kel@verizon.net. No attachments, please.
