A Glimmer Train Contest Deadline Approaches, Should You Be Interested

Don't forget, March 31 is the deadline for Glimmer Train's Short Story Award for New Writers - which I can't enter anymore, but you probably can! Go to Glimmer Train Press Online Submissions and follow the directions to submit. As I've mentioned before, I like submitting online to Glimmer Train because they make it so easy. It's a reputable, excellent literary mag.

Here's their spiel about the contest:

Competition: Glimmer Train's Short Story Award for New Writers.

Eligibility: Open only to writers whose fiction has not appeared in any
publication with a circulation over 5,000. (Entries must be entirely
unpublished.) Open to all themes, all subjects. Stories should not exceed
8,000 words.

First-place winner receives $1,200, publication in Glimmer Train Stories,
and 20 copies of the issue in which it is published. Second- and
third-place winners receive $500/$300, respectively, and acknowledgement
in that issue.

To submit your story, go to our site, www.glimmertrainpress.com , log in,
