Wundor Short Fiction Contest 2017 #seanocarolan.com

Novellas, Short Stories and Flash Fiction

At Wundor we plan to champion interesting, unusual fiction in all of its forms. Brevity can be one of literature’s great virtues, and we do not believe in filling out short stories into novella form if they are supposed to be short stories, or lengthening a novella to try to make a novel, when the story suits the novella form just fine.

Whether you have a single piece of work, a collection of pieces or a brilliant novella on your hands, we would like to read it. The only stipulation is that the sum total word count of your submission should fall between 5,000 and 45,000 words.

The deadline is 28 February 2017 and winners will be announced at the end of March 2017.

We very much look forward to hearing from you.

The winner of our inaugural short fiction contest will receive £500.
