10th Annual Writing Contest

For the tenth annual Scribes Valley Short Story Writing Contest, we are looking for stories that enthrall us, leave us breathless, make us say “Wow!” and stay in our minds even weeks after we read them.

You've worked hard on your story, studied every word, developed characters so real you know them personally, and created a setting which pulls readers out of the real world.

Don’t keep it to yourself! Let others read it. Let US read it!

Live to Imagine Released

Well, there we were, ready to jump on the BLOG wagon and do some regular postings. Seemed like a fairly simple thing to do. One thing we didn’t count on: finding the time to sit down and write the postings! We’ll try to do better in the future. A lot has happened since the last time. We’ve just released our new anthology of short story contest winners, entitled LIVE TO IMAGINE . And what an impressive list of authors! We’ve got famous authors, unknown-but-soon-to-be-famous authors, famous people who are becoming famous authors, just about any type of author you’d want. Francis W.

Writing Contest Deadline Extended

Due to requests, we've decided to extend the deadline of our 9th Annual Short Story Writing Contest . You now have until August 31, 2011 to get your entry in for contest consideration! We publish the top 10-15 stories from the contest in an annual anthology (try saying that five time fast) and the top 2-3 stories receive a monetary reward on top of that! Most of our contest winners are new, unknown authors seeking a little publicity and exposure. So, grab that story that you've worked on, and worked on, and worked on and submit it for the contest. We give every story every consideration. We'd love to see what you've been working on!
