The theme for our December Writing Contest is WRITER'S CHOICE!
This means you get to choose the genre, format, and theme. All forms and lengths of flash fiction and poetry will be accepted as long as the story is under 2,000 words. The first chapters of books are also accepted (as long as the chapter is 2,000 words or less). (I do not put an age restriction on these contests - please refrain from egregious sexual or violent content and let me know if there is an important content warning).
