Contest Details

Submissions for this contest have ended. Check the Writing Contest page for the most recent information.

Keeping things simple and lean is a way of life at 101 Words. We don’t plan on making our contests complicated either.

We hope to run these contests more frequently in the future if this one is successful. So, read on and submit your stories if you would like to see more of these!

Editors Choice — $50

Pretty self explanatory. Our editors pick their favorite story and you get cold hard cash. Well, it will actually be PayPal or Square, but you get the idea.

Bonus Prize — A copy of “Write. Publish. Repeat.“

Write. Publish. Repeat.

Sean and Johnny, from Sterling & Stone and the Self-Publishing Podcast, have donated a copy of “Write. Publish. Repeat“. (The No-Luck Guide to Self-Publishing Success) and their Udemy course, “Write. Publish. Repeat. Conversations“.

“Write. Publish. Repeat.” is a #1 bestseller that guides you through the process of becoming a full-time self-published author.

“Write. Publish. Repeat. Conversations” is a 30-part video series that expounds on all of WPR’s key points a year later. Students of this course will learn how to take their art and make a viable business from it.

How do I win it?

In an effort to get the word out about 101 Words, the book will go to the author of the story with the most social shares.  Use the social sharing buttons at the bottom of each story and encourage your friends, fans, and family members to do so as well.

Book format options include ePub, MOBI or PDF.

The Power of Imagery with Nina Schuyler

September 12 & 13 on Zoom
Enrollment closes Thursday, September 3 at 7:00 PM Pacific

If your descriptions are vivid but your stories still feel thin, this workshop is for you.

Join award-winning author Nina Schuyler to learn the difference between description, which tells a reader what things look like, and imagery, which carries plot, character, and meaning at the same time.

In just two days, you'll learn to choose images that hold emotion without naming it, pair them so each one deepens the other, and build patterns that gather meaning as the story moves.
