Guidelines: http://editorunleashed.com/2009/10/27/announcing-why-i-write-essay-contest/

For all of you creative nonfiction writers, here is a chance to strut your writing stuff. Editor Unleashed has teamed up with Smashwords, an Indie publisher, to host a second annual contest. This time, the topic is “Why I Write.” In 750 words or less, tell in a captivating manner why writing is your passion. Complete guidelines are on the Editor Unleashed Forum. All entries should be posted to the forum under a new thread. Last year, Smashwords published Flash Fiction 40, an anthology with forty of the best flash fiction stories in their contest. Winners of this year’s contest will be published in a new anthology, and the Grand Prize winner will take home $500, plus receive free publicity and online promotion. It will be exciting to see some Long Ridge Writers Group students and graduates in this anthology. Good luck!

NOTE: Laura posted this contest on our Blog previously. December 31, 2009 deadline.
