August 31, 2013 is quickly approaching! For the Eleventh Annual Scribes ValleyShort 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, pondered 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, don't let it sit on your computer yearning for the light of day! Let others read it. Let US read it! Online submissions available.

Our 11th annual short story writing contest is now accepting submissions. We are looking for stories that actually tell stories, stories that grab readers by the throat and won't let go, stories that make readers sit back, wipe their brow, and--if able to speak--say, "Wow!" We know you've worked hard on your story, pouring a little of your own soul into each word. You know your characters inside and out. You've actually lived in the setting and made it your own. It is now time to let others in. To share your work with the world. Click here to enter the Scribes Valley Writing Contest .
