First: the Link.

Second: What is it?

It’s an open call for ‘hint fiction’ submissions.  They define hint fiction as stories of 25 words or less that suggest a larger story.  It’s a pretty cool writing game and starting August 1st (ending August 31th) they are taking up to three submissions via email for an anthology scheduled for next year.  The caveat, you can only send two submissions unless you link to the their submission guide.

Here it is again. Hint Fiction Submission Guidelines!

I don’t have my submissions prepared yet, but I’ve got a few ideas rolling around.  Good fun!

Got something ready to publish? Want to try to win a contest?

About.com has a running list of writing contests that end in May. Some end on the first so get those envelopes out soon!

For anyone writing in the Hudson Valley (of New York), The Hudson River Reader is collecting submissions for river’s quadricentennial celebrations. There’s just over a month left for the deadline.

Guidelines can be found here.

Good Luck!

Glimmer Train, the literary magazine, has contests every month.  This is a link to their list of contests.  Good luck to anyone who submits.
