Ever wondered why that short story you read last week sticks in your mind while your own just doesn’t seem to have the legs?

This year, CWA is offering 20 sponsored special awards of $500 to $1,000 as well as its own Muse Medallions™ to winners in approximately 35 writing and graphic arts categories.

So you’re interested in writing a short story and want to know how to develop a character for the story.

Have you written ‘the perfect’ script, telling a story that simply MUST be played out on a theatrical stage?

WOW! hosts a (quarterly) writing contest every three months.

The Society also sponsors a writing contest which includes four categories: short story, personal essay, memoirs, and poetry. It is open to beginning and published authors. Winners receive cash prizes.

Suggested by the recent publication of Warren Adler’s latest novel, Funny Boys, the theme for the Summer 2008 Warren Adler Short Story Contest is Humor.
