SFWA MONTHLY WRITING CONTEST!

(Written by Ricki Dorn, Director of Contests)

Please submit your best haiku, poem, essay, play, memoir, novel, or short story to Ricki Dorn, the in-house Contest Director.  If you win, you will receive a certificate documenting your work as prize-winner,  and you may refer to it that way in the future. In addition, SFWA will pay the entrance fee for you to submit it to a larger contest, up to $20.00.  I’m sitting here waiting to read and enjoy your submissions.  Furthermore, winning a SFWA competition will motivate you to set your sights on your next goal.

Submission fee for one entry is $3 or two for $5 to be paid the day of the meeting.  Please email your writing to me, Ricki Dorn, at abbasone@earthlink.net by the day before the next meeting OR hand me a hard copy at the next meeting. Happy writing. Write it right!!
