Fiction Competitions

sponsored by WordSmitten Media, Inc., our two annual fiction
competitions are great writing exercises, fun events for short
story writers, and often a launching platform for debut authors.
WordSmitten discovers great writing and great writers. To sign
up, click (below) on either the TenTen Fiction Competition (annual
deadline is July 1) or the Storycove Flash Fiction Competition
(annual deadline is May 1).
A
recent award-winning short story, written by Maria
Headley, won our Ten Ten Fiction Award,
became incorporated into her best-selling book, The Year
of Yes, and broadcasting anchor Katie Couric selected the
book (while she was on NBC's Today show) as her favorite book
of the year.
