Story Unlikely Annual Short Story Contest

by Danny Hankner

Story Unlikely editor-in-chief

The Story Unlikely Annual Short Story Contest is back, and for our 5th year, we’re giving away $5,000! The top three winning stories will also be published and professionally illustrated (by real, human artists), and new to this year, we’re offering a REPRINT category, where the top story will also win cash, publication, and illustration. As always, there is NO entry fee, and NO restriction on genre, though all entries are limited to 7,000 words (or 10,000 if you’re a Member). The contest opens October 14th and runs through January 14th (Members can submit until January 31st). View all the submission details at www.storyunlikely.com#contest
Good luck!
