This month begins our monthly short-form writing contests (500 words for fiction, 20 lines for poetry).
Topic: “My Favorite Mistake”
Deadline: midnight, Friday, May 14
To enter, post a link to your entry, which can appear on either a personal site or any blog. If you must, you can e-mail it to wildvioletmagazine@yahoo.com, with the subject line: “May Contest Entry.” Please do not post your entry directly into the comments.
A panel will narrow the entries down to 10 top entries, and then I’ll create a poll, allowing people to vote. The May winner will receive a Wild Violet rectangle sticker and publication.
Good luck!
