Jerry Jazz Musician New Short Fiction Contest
"The act of writing requires a constant plunging back into the shadow of the past where time hovers ghostlike."
- Ralph Ellison

Three times a year, Jerry Jazz Musician awards a writer who submits, in
our opinion, the best original, previously unpublished work of

via a special mailing of our Jerry Jazz Musician newsletter.
Publishers, artists, musicians and interested readers are among those

appeal to a reader with these characteristics.
