Creative Writing Opportunity! Write 500 words--get $50!


I just wanted to let all English majors, especially those taking Creative Writing courses, know that there is a great contest sponsored by the website, Story Pony, currently underway.

Until March 31st, you can submit a flash fiction story in one of five genres: sci-fi, fantasy, crime, or adventure that is NO MORE THAN 500 WORDS LONG. That's very short, by the way --only about 2 pages. 

Here are the rest of the rules, from their website: 

To submit your story, click on ‘Add Story’ in the top right corner. For your story to be considered as a contestant, write the word ‘Contest’ in the ‘Tags’ field before submitting your story.

You can submit as many stories as you wish. Please note that we reserve the right to not accept your submission. Those who will be successful will be notified via email.

The Flash Fiction contest will have two winners

One winner will be the author of the submission with most points (tiebreakers are decided by us). Make sure your friends vote for you by clicking the ‘up’ arrow to give you a point! This winner will get $50 and have their piece shared on our social media channels (Facebook and Instagram).

The second winner (or winners) will be selected by us. These authors will have the opportunity to be included in our anthology. You might end up being published by us!

READY TO ENTER? You can do so at Story Pony's website: https://storypony.com/blog/short-story-contest-50-for-500-words/3465/ 

GOOD LUCK!
