Frightmares! Flash Fiction Contest - No Entry Fee

Frightmares! Flash Fiction Anthology Contest is open to all writers, published or not. The story style does not matter as long as it is a horror tale and does not exceed 500 words. Submissions for Frightmares! will be accepted until the volume has been filled, with an estimated release date of Fall 2011 which means a closing date of approximately July 2011. Five authors will be awarded cash prizes. Story must be unpublished. Copyrights remain with the author. Submit all entries via e-mail to Frightmares2011@gmail.com as an attachment in either Word (.doc) or rich text format. Please use “Frightmares Anthology Submission” in your subject line. Include your name, address, phone number and e-mail address on the first page of your submission and in your e-mail. Use a serif type to format your short story. (i.e. Times Roman, Georgia, Garamond, Courier). Do not use headers or footers.

1st Place - $100
2nd Place - $50
3rd Place - $25
4th Place - $15
Random Drawing - $50

NOTE: Thought you'd like to have a simple contest to start off the new year. Especially without an entry fee. Decent prize money for only 500 words (or less). I love reading tight flash with an impact. It's so smart.

DOUBLE NOTE: Working on edits. I'm so glad it's January. The pace is slower. No more holiday obligations, and the only deadlines for me are writing-related. I've made most of the changes as requested, and I agree with about 99% of them (I'm pretty open-minded). But the changes have made me realize there might be the need for another book between book one and book two. Hmmm.
