Angry? Wanna write a poem about war? Here’s your shot (no pun intended): Winning Writers wants 1-3 original, unpublished poems on the theme of war. Their combined length should not exceed 500 lines. They will award $5,000 in prizes, up from $3,000 in the previous contest. Deadline: 31 May 2007. Visit the site for details.
You know about November, also known as National Novel Writing Month, aka NaNoWriMo.The goal for this contest is lofty: write 50,000 words in November. Smith is carrying a far more reasonable contest - The Six-Word Memoir Contest. Submit something like Elizabeth Gilbert’s, “Me see world! Me write stories!” or “Longed for him. Got him. Shit.” by Margaret Atwood (!). Contest ends 25 December 2006. Visit Smith for details.
