Short Story ContestWe’re having another short story contest starting now!
Write a great ghost story and submit it to us. You could win! Entry is free. Use the form below for submission.
Prize: Publication in our upcoming e-magazine and mention on our site. There will definitely be one winner, but depending on the number of entries, we may allow runners up for this contest.
Deadline for entries will be Midnight (PST), October 1, 2011
The Rules:
(Subject to change without notice)
1. The work must be a short story. 10,000 words or less.
2. All works remain under your ownership, and you maintain full copyright.
3. All works must be a ghost story.
4. Spooky is about as dark and edgy as we get. Please, no gore, sex or violence.
5. Expression of one's spirituality is wonderful, and encouraged, however, nothing that violates or endangers religious freedom will be accepted.
6. Anything that incites hatred, racism, cruelty or works to harm anyone will not be accepted. This includes hatred or harm of self.
7. Respect of others (and self) is mandatory.
8. All stories must be literate. Do not submit a ghost story riddled with typographical or grammatical errors.
9. There is no limit to the number of entries you can submit.
10. Vulgar language will not be allowed.

12. We're sorry, but all stories must be written in English. It's merely a matter of mechanics.
