Sharing Your Work

Following the same procedure I used in the last issue, I’ll be adding to this list fairly often. If you discover a contest we should include, please use the Contact box to let me know.

If you have questions about Writer Advice’s Flash FICTION Contest, please let me know. If you have a contest you’d like to ad, please share the title, deadline, and URL, by clicking on Contact.
