Hello All! Windows into the Multiverse Writing Contest submissions for the Winter Edition 2024 have begun! I am so looking forward to reading your micro-stories. It encourages me when I read so many different interpretations of one image. Viewing the world through the eyes of others is why I enjoy reading so much. Whether your genre of choice is Science Fiction or Cozy Mystery, your story is welcome in our contest. For those who do not know, there are 4 judges for this contest (including myself), who enjoy a wide range of genres and are all authors in their own right. If you are interested in getting feedback about your submission after the contest is over, feel free to email me. If you are nervous about submitting your story, you don't need to be. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ here. Not every story is going to be everyone's cup of tea, but every story will be given a fair shot. Read on for the particulars!
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
You are asked to write a micro-story beginning with “Through the window, I saw...” using the photo below as inspiration. The only restriction on your creativity is that you keep your micro-story clean. All genres are accepted. Submissions will open October 1-31. Please keep your submission to between 1,000 and 1,500 words. To submit your story fill out the form found on the “Contests” page of our website. We will not use your micro-stories without your permission and the winner/s will be sent pages for approval. The winners will appear in our December 20th Winter Edition along with the image on this page. Depending on the number of submissions we receive, there will be either winners in several genre categories OR an overall winner. Winners will be announced on November 7th. Each winner or the overall winner will receive a $20 Amazon gift card, a printable winner’s certificate, a 3D printed “medallion”, and an author feature ($40 value).* The winners will be decided by the Clean Fiction staff and excerpts of each submission may be used for promotional purposes. We cannot wait to read what you write about this new image and are excited to read your submissions!
This Contest is Sponsored by the Strangers & Aliens Podcast (StrangersAndAliens.com) and Author Jessica Bertrand (JessicaBertrand.com).
* Prizes will not be distributed until after the magazine goes to print. Medallions are only shipped in the continental United States.
