Submit Your Short Story to a News Junkie Post Competition

Short Story Competition

Dear Readers:

As part of an update to News Junkie Post, we will soon replace our Entertainment section with a Literature section that will present the original works of talented authors. We invite writers to submit short stories to us that are approximately 1,500 to 3,000 words long.

Please submit your story and a biographical note (two to five sentences) to:

submissions(at)newsjunkiepost.com

The competition will be ongoing throughout the year. A panel of our editors will periodically review the stories and select a total of 10 for publication. We will publish one story every month in 2013.

While no financial reward will be offered to the winners, News Junkie Post will introduce their work to thousands of our readers. In addition, we will pursue potential publication of a compilation of the stories in either an e-book or a book. If such a book proves to be financially profitable, each author will be compensated with a fair share of any proceeds.

Yours sincerely,

The News Junkie Post Editors
