The 5th Annual Warren Adler Short Story Contest will run from January 11, 2010 to April 11, 2010. The rules are simple. The stories must be no longer than 2500 words. Subject matter is completely open to the author. Judges will be announced shortly. The goal of the contest is to encourage and publicize the short story as a viable and quality literary form. In the past few decades the short story has lost the popularity it once enjoyed when magazines were plentiful and the short story was a feature of many of them. Indeed, many authors earned their living by writing short stories exclusively.
We are quite proud of the winners we have chosen in previous contests.
