July writing contest announced!

-Here are the details for the July, 2012 writing contest. The March writing contest was a big success with the first place winner receiving a $50.00 amazon gift card. Other cool prizes were awarded as well! March results can be found on my website.

Details:

Genre: Non-trendy fantasy!

What the heck am I talking about?
Here is what I DON'T want to see in the story: Vampires, Werewolves or anything related to that sub- genre. Magic is okay. It should be set in the 1600's AND the main character needs to have some sort of physical or emotional disability. (no, being a man doesn't count)


Type: Short Story
Deadline: July 10
Fee: no entry fee
Prizes:
1st place: Exiled prize pack -signed copy of the book, signed poster, $30 winner's choice at The Never Chronicles store, $25 Amazon gift card
