Short Story Contest Open to Submissions from All over the World
For those days when you want to flex your other writing muscles and dedicate yourself to the precision of crafting short stories, this is a great opportunity open to submissions from all over the world:
Submissions are open for a new short fiction contest sponsored by the Federation of British Columbia Writers (FBCW). Award-winning novelist Eileen Cook will be the judge of the 2018 B.C. Short, a competition for original, unpublished short stories. The word length is between 1,200 and 2,000 words. (No children’s fiction.) Stories must be written in English. First prize is $350. “The Federation of British Columbia Writers is deeply committed to supporting and inspiring writers,” said FBCW president Ann Graham Walker. “We’re keeping the entry fees affordable, and hoping to see a lot of participation.”
Novelist Eileen Cook has been named the judge of the inaugural B.C. Short. “We’re thrilled to have Eileen as the judge for this year’s contest,” said organizer Cynthia Sharp, a Vancouver writer on the board of the FBCW. “Her work is powerful, and her eye for story is impeccable.” Eileen is a multi-published author with novels in eight languages. Her books have been optioned for film and TV. They include With Malice, Remember, Year of Mistaken Discoveries, The Almost Truth, Used to Be and Do or Di. She is a popular speaker at conferences both in the U.S. and in Canada, provides writing/editorial coaching, and is a mentor/instructor for the Simon Fraser University Writer’s Studio, The Write Potential and The Creative Academy.
The entry fee is $15. Members of the FBCW pay only $10 to enter. Entrants should use Submittable. The name of the entrant must not appear anywhere on the entry itself. Work must be original and not previously published. Submissions must be in MS Word, PDF or RTF format, in Times New Roman 12 point font. Electronic submissions only. The deadline for submissions is June 1, 2018. Winners will be announced on July 30, 2018. The winning entry will be published in WordWorks, the magazine of the Federation of BC Writers. Board members of the FBCW and their immediate family are not eligible to enter. Visit https://www.bcwriters.ca for more information about the Federation of British Columbia Writers.
