Orcs, Robots, and Unicorns, Oh My!

PegLeg Publishing's first sci-fi and fantasy short story contest

 

We receive a lot of fantasy and science fiction short stories for GlassFire Magazine, so we've decided to make our first short story contest a sci-fi/fantasy themed contest.  We're looking for short stories that focus on anything fantastic, magical, or futuristic.  Dragons and space ships, aliens and knights, even pirates (if they're in a fantastical situation, of course) are welcome.  Below are the specifics for the contest.

 

Deadline: October 31, 2008

 

  • Reading fee: $10.00 per story.

  • Submission limit: two stories per author.

  • Word length: 5,000 words or less. 

  • Payment: you can either submit your entries with a check made out to PegLeg Publishing via snail mail or you can submit online.  If you submit online, we will put your entry into a waiting queue and send you an online invoice to pay through PayPal.  Once we receive your payment, we will move your entry to the reading queue.  Yes, it's a bit complicated, but it's the best way we've found so far (and it's green!).

 Prizes (yes, there are prizes!)

1st Prize - $75, publication in the winter issue of GlassFire, and a PegLeg Publishing gift basket!

2nd Prize - $25, publication n the winter issue, and a gift basket

3rd Prize - Publication n the winter issue and a gift basket
