Note from site host: Wow, this calendar is currently tough to read, isn’t it? This is because the calendar has been ported to a new website. New posted events from here on in will direct to the new site–so you’ll only have to tolerate this for a little bit :)

ENDING: Raymond Carver Short Story Contest
May 15, 2017
The Raymond Carver Short Story Contest is for short stories (most likely literary fiction). Word count is not listed on the host site as of this posting. Carve looks for “emotional jeopardy, soul, and honesty… Craft and control are tantamount to our connection to the characters.” Prizes are as follows: (1st – $1500) (2nd – $500) (3rd – $250) (Editor’s Choice x2 – $125). It is possible that you will be required to mail your entry in order to avoid a submission fee. The contest submission window opens April 1st and closes May 15th, 2017.
More information here (will update later with more info, if any). This event is sponsored by Carve Magazine.
