Summer Writing Contest

Hello All! We have a lot to get through this week so let's get into it! The submissions for the Windows into the Multiverse Writing Contest have continued to roll into our inbox. This is a super low-key entry process for those of you who don't know. Submissions are free, you get the opportunity to have one of your works published professionally, and it is a good chance to flex your writing muscles. Because of the low word count requirements, it should not take you long to craft your micro-story and due to us running the contest quarterly, you have 4 opportunities per year to be published. Participating is easy. You are asked to write a micro-story beginning with “Through the window, I saw...” using the photo on the "Contests" page of our website as inspiration. The only restriction on your creativity is that you keep your micro-story clean. All genres are accepted. Submissions are open thru April 30. Please keep your submission to between 1,000 and 1,500 words. We cannot wait to read what you write about this new image and are excited to read your submissions!

COVER ART CONTEST SUBMISSIONS BEGIN APRIL 14: For the June 20th Summer Edition 2025, we will be holding another Cover Art Contest for everyone to enjoy. We will also continue to hold our Cover Art Contest quarterly. Can a cover DESIGNER participate? Of course. Can an author participate even if they did not design their cover? Yep. Is there a limit on the number of covers that I submit? Please, only send one cover per author/design company. Can you submit a cover that has participated in a previous Cover Art Contest? We ask that you only submit a cover once to one of our contests. What about AI art? As long as a human had a hand in creating part of the cover, it is fine to submit it. Does it matter what genre the book is? No, but keep it clean! Submissions will begin April 14 and go through April 26. (Submissions are completely FREE). Submit your cover at the link below. Voting will begin April 28 and go through May 10. (Voting is also FREE). The winner will be announced May 15 in our Newsletter. See our website for the small print. The winner will receive a $20 Amazon Gift Card and the other covers will be included in the magazine along with their submission information. The winner will also receive a certificate with a special 3D-printed medallion (only within the US).
