So you’re at the Texas Book Festival, soaking up all that good writing, and you’re thinking to yourself, hey, maybe this is something I could do.
We think you could, too. And we think you really should.
We’re now accepting submissions for our 21st annual Austin Chronicle Short Story Contest, which offers $1,500 in prize money and the opportunity to have your story printed in these here pages. Here’s the fine print: The postmark deadline is Dec. 10, 2012; work must be unpublished, typewritten, and no longer than 2,500 words; the author’s name must not appear on the story itself, but the title should; story must be accompanied by a cover letter containing the name, address, email, and phone number of the author, as well as the story’s word count and title; one entry per person; Chronicle staff, freelancers who have contributed more than one article since October 2011, and first- through fifth-place winners from the 2011 contest are ineligible; no electronic submissions; no submission fees.
Got questions? See austinchronicle.com/shortstorycontest. And happy writing.
