Chapbook Contest:
Flash Prose
Around here, we consider flash prose to be any single work of prose shorter than 2,000 words. If you’ve got a chapbook-length collection of them (and it hasn’t been published yet) we want to see it. Submit 30-50 pages of fiction or nonfiction. Style and subject matter are entirely up to you. We welcome both new and established writers.
First Prize: $500, publication, 20 copies of the chapbook
Entry Fee: $15 (Check or Money order, please)
Postmark deadline: June 15, 2011
