Writing Words - writing it is the only way of getting it written

Short Story Competitions

January 26th 2010 20:26
As mentioned in my 2010 writing goals, I want to write a short story every month. To keep up my motivation to write the best stories, I've been looking around for short story competitions. Here's what I found:

Sonya,

I suggest you go to the website Duotrope's Digest. You'll find a lot of markets there. Many of the magazines have contests, and it also lists specific contests.
