A contest, featuring actual money, is going on now at Writers' Bloc. The theme is: making a sacrifice. Fiction only, 11–5,000 words. Deadline July 4. Details at www.writersblocmag.org/contest.html.
Oh, right. The payout. $250 + $5 for every submission over 25.
Writers' Bloc is an unpretentious online monthly journal of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, art, photography, and spoken word. We publish new writers, established writers, imaginary writers, and writers who think they don't exist but actually do (which creates tax problems).
