Surprising Revelation Short Story Contest
The purpose of the first Indie Seminars short story contest is to give you as an author exposure and an opportunity to win a small cash prize and free publishing and promotion services. While the judges of this contest are all writers, we don't claim that this contest will add to your credibility as a professional writer. There are other contests much more prestigious judged by professional authors for that purpose.
Contest: Write a fictional short story based (however you like) on the concept Surprising Revelation with a maximum of 4,000 words, not counting the title. Contest deadline is midnight January 31st, 2009. (Please note: 'Surprising Revelation' is simply the theme. Please don't use it as your title.)
Purpose: Offer a means of exposure for aspiring writers and an opportunity to teach authors the benefits of independent publishing.
