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.
