Queerbook Fiction Writing Contest

Post date: 27 July 2010
Queerbook.com Writers Group is sponsoring a Fiction Writing Contest for all writers interested in submitting short works of fiction. The short fiction contest especially encourages GLBT entrants and subject gay and lesbian themes.

Works submitted must be fewer than 10,000 words, representing original, unpublished effort of the author. Although no minimum word count is required, a minimum suggested word count is 2,000 words. Winners will claim a $100.00 prize, a review of their submitted work by a publishing professional and agent and feedback on the viability of their work for publication. The author retains all rights and ownership of entry.

“Queerbook.com is appreciative of our talented GLBT authors and artists. We hope to have an art contest in the Spring of 2011, but now is the time for the authors to shine. All writers are welcomed in the contest, however, the material must be fresh and unsolicited,” says Reece Manley, Director of Queerbook.com.

Queerbook.com is the premier non-porn, pro-advocacy GLBT Networking Site on the Internet. While new membership continues to increase exponentially in its reach and membership diversity. All GLBT persons and allies are invited to participate. Queerbook can be located at http://www.queerbook.com. This contest is presented in conjunction with the GLBT Writers’ Guild at http://www.glbtwriters.com.
