Many Voices with stories to share
|
At AWCS, our writers have many stories, many voices, taken from many experiences. We have poets, fiction writers, creative nonfiction writers and more, and this year we want to showcase some of our wonderful talent. All members are invited to submit to our monthly writing contest.
The first day of each month, you will receive the writing prompt and genre for the month by email. You have 10 days to write and submit a piece of flash fiction/creative nonfiction or poetry (depending on the month). The winning entry will be published in the Member Connections at the end of the month and win 50% of the submission pot. Can't get much easier, right? So, let's write. |
New in April and in collaboration with the Calgary Public Library:
Submissions may also be considered for distribution in Calgary Public Library’s Short Story Dispenser. Stories will be considered if they are less than 1200 words, contain suitable content for all ages, and are written by authors with ties to Alberta. Authors will not receive further compensation for having their work published in the Short Story Dispenser.
