We are interested in reading your original, unpublished stories!
* We don't publish stories for children, I'm sorry.
* Multiple submissions are fine. You can send more than one submission per competition, if you like, or submit the same story for different categories, if it qualifies.
* When we accept a story for publication, we are purchasing first-publication rights. (Once we've published your story, you are free to, for instance, include it in your own collection.)
To make a submission: Please send your work via our new online submission procedure. It's easy, will save you postage and paper, and is much easier on the environment.
Dates:
The category will be open to submissions for one full month, from the first day through
midnight (Pacific time) of the last day of the month. Results will be posted at www.glimmertrain.org.
* February. Results will be posted on April 30.
* May. Results will be posted on July 31.
* August. Results will be posted on October 30.
* November. Results will be posted on January 31.

Prizes:
* 1st place wins $1,200, publication in Glimmer Train Stories, and 20 copies of that issue.
* 2nd-place: $500
* 3rd-place:$300
Other considerations:
* Open only to writers whose fiction has not been presented in a print publication with a circulation over 5,000. (Entries, of course, must be unpublished.)
* Stories not to exceed 12,000 words.(Any shorter lengths are welcome.)
