Member-Sponsored “And then…” Horror Contest
Details
| Deadline: | October 23 (36 days left) |
| Fee: | Free |
Show me and my judges your horror stories under 1,000 words. Use the photo you see in the upper left hand corner as an inspirational prompt. All stories must start with the words “And then…”. I know, lots of gurus say don’t start a sentence with “And”, but there have been some mainstream stories that started this way. What can you do with it? Winners will be announced on Halloween.
Prize money for this contest is provided by the Scribophile Writing Contest Prize Fund.
