Calling all horrorwriters!

I'm proud to announce my FLASH HORROR FICTION CONTEST!

Each month I will supply a theme and ask for flash fiction entries in the #horror genre of between 500 to 1000 words.

Each month FIVE amazing entries will be selected with the top prize receiving a PRIZE PACK!

All five winning entries each month will be collected and added to a single volume (12 months of entries). This volume will be professionally edited by Danielle Yeager of Hack & Slash Editing.

I will have the book professionally formatted, have a cover designed, and then promote and sell the book in all major outlets. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Gillian's Place

"Gillian's Place is proud to be more than safe shelter. Gillian's Place offers a variety of compassionate, secure, and practical support services for you, your loved ones and allies.

All writers retain their ownership of their created works at all times and they also retain the right to withdraw from the contest at any time. The only thing I ask is that, if you win, you agree to have your story published in the collected anthology.

Also, as this contest at its heart is a way to promote indie horror stories - all writers agree to allow their stories, bio, photo and link to be posted on my website upon entry.
