Another Glimmer Train Contest

Glimmer Train has another one going on. Deadline is July 15. Below is their spiel:

Competition: Glimmer Train's Summer Fiction Open.

Eligibility: Open to all writers, all themes, subjects, and lengths.
Your entries must be your own, original, entirely unpublished stories.
Multiple entries are okay, but, please, no simultaneous submissions.

First-place winner receives $2,000, publication in Glimmer Train
Stories, and 20 copies of the issue in which it is published. Second-
and third-place winners receive $1,000/$600, respectively, and
acknowledgement in that issue.

To submit your stories, go to our site, www.glimmertrainpress.com, log
in, and click on FICTION OPEN. Reading fee (payable by visa or mc) is
$15 per story.

Entries will be accepted through July 15th. Winners will be called by
October 15th. Top 25 list will be emailed to all participants by that
date.

We are eager to read more of your work!


Now, remember - you don't have to enter contests if you don't want to. There are many other ways to get your work recognized. (And see my post on January 9 this year for what to watch out for and how to keep from being scammed.) But this is a reputable, reasonably priced one, so if you are into them, what the heck? Look over your work, send something in, or finish what you have (you can write a good, even great, short story by July 15 if you work a little each day), and send it on in. It's good practice.
