Glimmer Train short story competition offers opportunities to new creative writers
© Mateusz Stachowski
North American literary magazine Glimmer Train Stories is inviting new writers to submit stories for their current creative writing contest before August 31st 2009.
Linda, co-founder and editor of Glimmer Train, says: “It’s a challenge getting one’s short fiction published. Those people whose stories we publish have usually gotten a tidy bundle of rejections from us before they sent the one that made us say yes. So keep at it!”
Your story needs to be under 12,000 words long and may be on any subject and genre other than children’s. To qualify as a new writer, your fiction must not have appeared in any print publication with a circulation over 5,000. Entries, of course, must be unpublished.
In exchange for a reading fee of $15 per story, you will be in with a chance of winning the first prize of $1,200, publication in Glimmer Train Stories, and 20 copies of the magazine.
The second prize is $500 and possible publication, while third prize is $300 and possible publication.
The results will be posted on October 31st and the winning story will be published in Issue 77.
