The New England Science Fiction Association (NESFA) have been in touch to tell us to tell you about their writing competition.
Prizes include free books, and the grand prize of a free membership to Boskone*. Free critiques of your work are also on offer.
The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, September 30, 2015 at 11:59PM EDT. All submissions must be made via email to storycontest@boskone.org in flat text, rich text, or any format readable by MS Word or Open Office. Please include your submission as an attachment rather than in the body of the email. Story pages should be numbered, with the page number and the title of the story at the top of each page.
A qualifying story must have strong science fiction or fantasy elements and must be shorter than 7,500 words. Stories must be original works of fiction, submitted by their authors. No reprints, fan fiction, or poetry.
