FAMILY MATTERS
Deadline: October 31, 2009
Prizes:
- 1st place wins $1,200, publication in Glimmer Train Stories, and 20 copies.
- 2nd-place: $500 and possible publication.
- 3rd-place: $300 and possible publication.
Reading fee: $15 per story.
Results post on December 31, 2009. Winning story will be published in Issue 78.
Other considerations:
- Open to all writers.
- Pieces should be original, unpublished stories about family.
- Please, no longer than 12,000 words. Any shorter lengths are welcome.
- This category has stimulated lots of questions about
fiction/nonfiction/creative nonfiction, since many people have
significant real-life stories to write. It seems to us that many
fiction submissions are heavily rooted in actual experience, which
is entirely fine with us, but submissions should read like fiction
and anything we publish will be presented as fiction.
