Submissions are now open for the School of Kingdom Writers quarterly writing contest!
You can submit right here by logging in and navigating to “Contest”. It’s free and you retain all of the rights to your work. Plus there are cool prizes.
This quarter we’re looking for your best flash fiction! The theme is “Unexpected Beginnings,” interpret it as you may.
All submissions should be less than 1,000 words and must be submitted by December 1, 2021. This contest is open to all English-speaking writers. There is no cost to enter.
The theme—unexpected beginnings—is yours to interpret and apply as you wish: literally, metaphorically, or allegorically.
We’re looking for stories that can quickly develop a scene, character, and conflict within the word count. Even though your story is short, it should still have a beginning, a middle, and an end. The best flash fiction tells as much of the story by what’s not on the page.
Your story may be true or fictional. You may write in any genre or writing style you wish.
The winner of this month’s writing contest will receive a $100 Amazon gift card and be published to the School of Kingdom Writers website.
