1st Ever Plot Monster Writing Contest

Good Morning Monsters! I hope you all have an amazing day planned!

I am so excited to announce the first ever Plot Monster Writing Contest! This month Plot Monster is officially one year old. In honor of this awesome milestone I am hosting a short story contest.

So, first the rules:

• Each entry must be 3,000 words or less.

Okay. You can go a little over 3,000.  Don’t cut your story off just to meet this requirement. We’re not counting words. HOWEVER, if you send in 10 pages single-spaced, we will know you didn’t even try to meet this requirement.  (3,000 words is approximately 6 pages single-spaced.)

• You may enter more than one submission.
• The contest is open to contestants within the U.S and international contestants as well.
• You must put your country of origin on the submission.

This is a must to ensure that you receive the appropriate prize.

• You must be the author of your submission.

Don’t enter someone else’s work. If they want to enter, they can. It’s free.

• Entries must be original stories that have not been published elsewhere.

If you published on your blog, social media, or self-publish and want to enter your work, you may. However, if it has been traditionally published elsewhere it is NOT eligible for this contest – but congrats on having it published!!

• No genre requirements EXCEPT entries may not contain scenes with graphic sexual content.

None, zip, nada.

• Mailing address and email address must be submitted with entry.

This is also has to do with prizes.
