Perilous Adventures Short Story Competition

Submissions of short stories up to 5000 words are now invited for the second annual Perilous Adventures Short Story Competition. Entries close August 28. Stories may be in any genre: from the weird to the wacky, the sassy to the sublime. Speculative, serious, criminal or romantic, realist or reactionary, we look forward to reading a wide range of stories. They are looking for stories that combine a riveting story with clear but eloquent prose. Stories that surprise, stories that move. Each entry must be accompanied by an entry fee of $10.00, payable by cheque, money order or direct deposit. You may enter as many times as you wish, as long as each entry is better than the one before. The winning story and three shortlisted stories will be published in the Perilous Adventures magazine. All four finalists will win a free weekend retreat at Olvar Wood Writers Retreat 16-18 October, 2009. Queries can be sent by email to:subs@perilousadventures.net
