Esquire Magazine’s Fiction Contest deadline: August 1st
Esquire Magazine is running a contest for fiction. The winning story will be published in a future issue of the magazine (as well as here, the fiction section of their online magazine).
There are rules, of course. On is that the story must be based on one of three titles:
1. “Twenty-Ten”
2. “An Insurrection”
3. “Never, Ever Bring This Up Again”
Second rule: Your story cannot exceed 4,000 words.
Other rules: You may submit only one story. The contest begins on May 1, 2009. All entries are due by midnight of August 1, 2009 and must be submitted electronically here at esquiresubmissions.com. (Yet more official rules here.)
First prize: publication in Esquire and $2,500.
