Announcing the cover image for the 2014 Writing Contest Anthology, Escape Your World , to be released soon:

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 .
