Writer's Digest Short Short Story Contest

The 9th Annual Writer's Digest Short Short Story Competition is accepting entries until December 1st, so get out that magnifying glass and find your best teeny tiny story. Here's what they're searching for and what your big prize could be:

We're looking for fiction that's bold, brilliant... but brief. Send us your best in 1,500 words or less. But don't be too long about it—the deadline is December 1, 2008. The Grand-Prize winner will receive $3,000 (that's $2—or more—per word). Plus, the 1st- through 25th-place manuscripts will be printed in the 9th Annual Writer's Digest Short Short Story Competition Collection,
published by Trafford Publishing.
