Founded in 2012, District Lit is an online journal based in DC, MD, and VA. We have some exciting opportunities for writers we would like to announce.
Spring 2017 Flash Fiction Contest
About the Contest
We are hosting an inaugural flash fiction contest. The first place flash fiction story will appear on District Lit’s website. The winner will receive $200, publication, and a copy of the judge’s book. The second and third place finalists will receive a copy of the judge's book and possible publication in District Lit.
Contest Deadlines and Fee
Submissions will be accepted March 1 – May 1, 2017. All submissions must include a $5.00 reading fee. The winner will be announced late summer 2017.
Submission Guidelines
Each submission must be 750 words or less and submitted through Submittable. Multiple entries are accepted, but each entry requires a separate reading fee. Your name should not appear anywhere on your submission. Any identifiable information will automatically disqualify your story from consideration.
