Welcome to Weekend Writers
We are a place for you to practice your writing, possibly win some money, possibly get discovered.
How do we work?
Each challenge will be a one thousand word short story.
With each round participants will be randomly assigned a genre and two challenges that must be included in their story. The editor assigned to each individual in each round will provide constructive criticism to all participants.
With each of the first three rounds half of the entries will
continue.
With the fourth and final round the top three stories will receive cash prizes, the other stories in the final round will be made available to analog editors and agents
for possible purchase or representation.
​
Schedule
​A new contest will kick off the 1st Friday of each month and last 4 months.
