I’m a Jade Ring judge

I’m the fiction judge for the Wisconsin Writer’s Association’s 2025 Jade Ring Contest. The fiction category is open to unpublished stories in English of up to 2000 words. There are also categories for poetry and non-fiction. You can find all the submission guidelines here.

Although I mostly write science fiction, I read and enjoy fiction of all kinds. As the guidelines say, though, the work should be complete and standalone.

I’ve judged contests in the past, so I know I’m going to enjoy this, and I’m hoping for a wide variety of stories. That’s what makes reading all the entries fun.
