Winner Takes $55 Writing 55 Words Or Less

Austin Briggs sponsors the 55 Words Or Less Flash Fiction contest.

He explains the contest:

"Join us and write in a new flash fiction topic while competing for votes from your peers. Bring your very best brief work here – you’ll garner feedback, acknowledgment, and even acclaim from others. If you’re brilliant, you’ll sure get quality traffic to your website, and sell more books.

Each month, you can also WIN 55 Dollars from my personal treasure chest, payable to your Paypal email address.

 

The judgement criteria:

• How awesome your story is in my view

• Helped (but not defined) by voting from other readers

We’re here to help, to encourage, and to enjoy friendly competition with other writers. Vote for the stories your peers have written and give them your ideas on how to improve their writing style, their plot twists, and their characters.

Here, everyone gets to be a part of creating brilliant fiction in a supportive community of peers – all of whom love a good story as much as you do.

Join the community and bring your best writing to the game.

All rights remain with the author, even for the winning entries. I don’t intend to ever claim any rights for the flash fiction stories published here.

The rules are simple:

1. Fifty-five words or less (non-negotiable), excluding the title.
2. A setting
3. One or more characters
4. Some conflict
5. A resolution (Not limited to moral of the story).
6. The title is not part of the overall word count, but it can’t exceed seven words."
