The 8th Annual Writer’s Digest Short Short Story Competition is accepting entries! They are looking for fiction that’s bold, brilliant … but brief. Send them your best in 1,500 words or less. But don’t be too long about it—the deadline is December 3, 2007.

The Grand-Prize winner will receive $3,000 (that’s $2—or more—per word). For guidelines, prizes and to enter online, click here.

And, the 1st- through 25th-place manuscripts will be printed in the 8th Annual Writer’s Digest Short Short Story Competition Collection, published by Trafford Publishing.
