WORD RIOT HAVIN’ A CONTEST

contest!

Yo!  Word Riot, publisher of me (oh and some other folks, like Mike Young and Paula Bomer and Kevin Sampsell), is having a contest.  THREE contests.  Poetry, flash fiction and short story.  The winner of each will receive half the contest money (from their respective individual contest, I assume) and be published in the WR 10th anniversary anthology. They’ve also opened up submissions for the WR 10th anniversary anthology from authors previously published on the site. More info here: http://www.wordriot.org/archives/2019.  I just got a galley of Paula Bomer’s book Baby this week and I’m gonna read it ASAP, like as soon as I finished this amazing Aldous Huxley book The Devils of Loudun that I got from the library.  (Read this shit, it’s so good!)

      That’s awesome on so many levels. Maybe I’m dense, but did you see a deadline for when authors that have published with them before should get their new stories in? Everything else says March 31, but the anthology says it will be OUT in March 2011, so…that means we should get them in sooner. Thanks.

      The anthology will be out March 2012. The deadline for the contests is March 2011. We don’t have a hard and fast deadline yet for when anthology authors should get their stories in.

      Cool, thanks, appreciate it, Jackie.

      Got your story picked out yet, Nick or are you writing something completely new?
