A Blogiversary Contest!

From the Write Angle is one year old! We can't believe it has been a year already. To celebrate our birthday month, and to thank you, our loyal fans and readers, we're having a contest!
  • What: Flash fiction, maximum 500 words
  • Requirements: You must use each of the following words in your entry: paper, crew, callipygian, angle, novel. Other than that, there's no specific theme. It's up to you. Have fun with it!
  • Deadline: Entries must be received by midnight (EDT) on Wednesday, April 18th 2012
  • Method of entry: email your entry to fromthewriteangle@gmail.com with your flash fiction pasted in the body of the email. Please don't send any attachments.
  • Results: the Write Angle Crew will read and collectively decide on two winners, which will be announced here on the blog on Friday, April 27th.
Important: By entering, you agree to let us publish your flash fiction on this web site if you're one of the winners.

We would love if you would tweet or otherwise share this post and spread the word about the contest. We'd also love for you to subscribe to our blog. However, these are not requirements for contest entry.

One last thing... PRIZES! Two lucky winners will receive book by Write Angle crew members.

Haha Jeff! You can thank Cat for that word. It's definitely not made up.

And me! Don't forget me! I want that paperback! But isn't that a totally made up word? That's okay, I have a place for it already!
