FOR BEST RESULTS:

3. Include your name, contact information, title, and genre in the cover letter, but only include your title in the submission so it remains anonymous.
4. Please double-space your submission.

SUBMISSIONS: All entries should be submitted through Submittable.

 You may enter UP TO THREE stories, but each is a separate submission with a separate fee of $15.

Names of all winners will be announced in the summer issue of WriterAdvice, www.writeradvice.com.
