Short FICTION’S 5th annual New Writers Competition opens 1 January to 30 April 2011. Prize is £300 plus publication in Issue 5 of Short FICTION (due out October 2011). Writers who haven't published a book of fiction are eiligible (authors with books of poetry etc are fine). Entries must be of previously unpublished work (in magazine or online). Stories under 5000 words are welcome


GENERAL SUBMISSIONS

Our reading period is open: 1 Sept 10 to 31 March 2011.

Please submit only one story at a time. If you want to know what kind of fiction to submit, please order a back issue, which is another way of saying, we like stories with narrative drive and dynamic tension. Novel chapters which function as self-contained units may additionally work well for us. We receive over 600 stories in a reading cycle so we not only invite, but expect simultaneous submissions (we do ask, however, that you notify us immediately if a work has been accepted elsewhere). We pay (depending on funding) and give authors we're publishing two copies of the journal.

We apologies in advance, but we are reinstating our policy to only respond to the writers whose work we are publishing. We aim to read and turnover all submissions within a 2 month period. If you have not heard from us by January 2011 (at the latest) please assume we can't use your work. Finally we can only accept submissions digitally.
