Hello All! I hope that all of you had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. Personally, I am happy that I decided to take a break because now I can tackle 2025 with gusto. There is so much happening this year that I cannot wait to share it all with the Clean Fiction Community! In the coming weeks, we will be welcoming new reviewers, columnists, serial authors, and of course celebrating Writing Contest and Cover Art Contest winners! If you didn't already know, we have 17 reviewers (including myself) currently contributing to our magazine and more advertising supporters than I can count. That means that our magazine, which reached over 150 pages twice last year, will be growing yet again as we add more spectacular writers to our roster.
But enough about our plans for the year, what are yours? Are you launching a book this year? If so, consider placing an Event Listing with us! For just $5 your book will be listed on our website and in our magazine until your book is launched. So the earlier you place your Event Listing the further your $5 will go! Then, because we LOVE our authors, we run your book information for an additional quarter as a Recent Release. I dare you to find a better deal than this anywhere in advertising. That means that if you are launching a book in December your book information can be featured through the beginning of 2026. The $5/Event Listing price also extends to publishing houses so tell your publishing friends about this great deal!
And now for some contest news... Windows into the Multiverse Writing Contest submissions have begun!!!
SPRING WRITING CONTEST: You are asked to write a micro-story beginning with “Through the window, I saw...” using the photo found 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 will open January 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 March 20th Spring 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 February 6th. 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 Kelly F. Barr (KellyFBarr.com).
* Prizes will not be distributed until after the magazine goes to print. Medallions are only shipped in the continental United States.
And that's all for now! Talk to you next week and until then...
May your day be bright and your reading be epic!
~ Amy Lynn McConahy, Clean Fiction Publisher
