When the pandemic hit in 2020, I started a publication on Medium called Sci-Fi Shorts using vintage public domain art from old pulp magazines. Rod Castor soon joined the fun. Then, it grew until we published a best-selling anthology of 500-word flash fiction stories from authors all around the world. Then we published a second volume with stories up to 1,000 words.

A couple of years ago, we launched our own platform that publishes fantastic stories every week for our subscribers and gives away a free story every Sunday.

Now, I’m super excited to announce our first-ever writing contest with up to $3,000 in prize money! If you write flash scifi or fantasy or maybe you’re a budding writer and just want to give it a shot, you can enter here: https://www.sfscontest.com/

The prize money pool starts at $500 and can increase up to $3,000. There is a $35 entry fee that funds the prizes. Here are a few important notes, the full rules are available at the site:

  • 1st Place: 40% of the prize pool.
  • 2nd Place: 20% of the prize pool.
  • 3rd Place: 15% of the prize pool.
  • 4th-10th Places
