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. |
