Caw-ling All Writers!
Oh, those chatty ravens. As I write, a pair of these brilliant black birds are caw-caw-cawing away in a nearby forest. Their competition for fresh carrion turns my thoughts to the guts of the writer’s craft: a love for the written word.
And here at Pulp Lit, that love runs deep and true — and wide: With a 250 to 2500 word count, a different (but always fabulous!) judge each year, and all the genre-bending and -blending in which we delight, this Raven’s nest has room for everyone!
The 2020 Raven Short Story Contest opens 1 September. Send us your previously unpublished short fiction by 15 October for a chance at the $300 top prize and publication in Issue 30, Spring 2021.
The entry fee is $20, but enter by 15 September for the early-bird rate of only $15. And for an additional $25, receive a professional critique from one of the Pulp Literature editors. For submission guidelines and to enter, visit our website.
We are delighted to announce that this year’s final judge is Matthew Hughes, an award-winning writer and the author of What the Wind Brings.
As you craft your own literary labour of love, I wish you all the focus and determination of my backyard ravens.
