Although the Fall 2025 Ghost Story Supernatural Fiction Award competition is now in the record books—winner and honorable mentions selected, payed, and published . . . supernatural story and magic realism writers don’t have to wait long for another contest. November is our only month-long break of the year, after which we move right into the Winter 2026 Screw Turn Flash Fiction Competition for brief tales of 1,000 words or fewer. This contest opens to submissions on December 1, closes to submissions on January 31 . . . and the winner and honorable mentions are published on February 14. You can find the guidelines right here.
