Publication For Our Fiction Award Winners . . . And Our Summer Flash Contest Opens On June 6
Ever since we decided to run two Screw Turn Flash Fiction Competitions per year here on The Ghost Story website . . . it seems like year-round we’re always either opening a contest, closing a contest, or celebrating a new winner and several honorable mentions for a contest—and this spring is no different.
As you’re likely aware, the Spring 2023 Ghost Story Supernatural Fiction Award contest for full-length short stories (1,500-10,000 words) closed to submissions on April 30. We received over 250 supernatural stories from all over the world, and we’re currently preparing to announce and publish a winner and two honorable mentions on June 1. Each of those stories will appear right here our our website accompanied an original illustration by Andy Paciorek.
Then, a week later, our Summer 2023 Screw Turn Flash Fiction Competition, for supernatural stories of up to 1,000 words, will open to submissions on June 6. The summer flash competition will remain open until July 15, and we’ll present the winner and honorable mentions on July 31. You can check out the complete guidelines here.
Right after that, The Fall 2023 Ghost Story Supernatural Fiction Award contest opens to submissions . . . but at this point—mid spring—that’s probably looking just a little too far ahead.
In any case, it all adds to four seasons of enjoyable, often chilling, reading here on TGS.
