Contests
 
 

Beginning JANUARY 1, 2010, Whispers Publishing will be hosting the “Make it Quick” writing contest. The contest is open to all writers published and unpublished.

 

 

 

THE DETAILS

 

We’re looking for Erotiquiks which are hot, steamy stories of 2,000 words or less. These must be complete stories with a hero, heroine, and a plot. Be creative and don’t limit yourself.

 

Any genre or time period is acceptable, but the story must follow all of Whispers guidelines and can not include any of the taboos listed on the submissions page. So whether it’s the West you long to write about or a futuristic world of your own creating, challenge yourself by tightening your story into 2,000 words or less!

 

There is no entry fee.

 

The top three entries will be offered a contract for publication in 2010 as well as prizes listed below.
