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.

Editors Choice — A copy of Scrivener

Pretty self explanatory. Our editors pick their favorite story and you get a free copy of Scrivener. If you don’t know what Scrivener is, well, you are missing out. You can start by reading about it on the Author Resources page.

Bonus Prize — A copy of “Flashdogs: An Anthology” in large paperback.

Flash Dogs - An Anthology

Native to the intense competition of the Internet flash arenas, the Flashdogs are an international pack of flash fiction writers committed to pushing the envelope of the form. Collected here in the first-ever Flashdogs anthology for charity, you will find one-hundred and ten stories by thirty-four writers from around the globe. Running the gamut from dark comedy to science fiction to poetry, this anthology showcases the diversity of the pack with open submissions as well as a prompted story from each writer. In these pages you will find addicts and astronauts, dragons and demons, mothers and madmen. Charmed by magicians and haunted by ghosts, you may find yourself reading straight through supper. The Flashdogs’ stories will sweep you into a hundred universes served in small bites anyone can enjoy.

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.

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.
