F – The Inaugural QUAGMIRE Magazine Fiction Contest. Theme: “Quagmire”
THEME: QUAGMIRE (NOUN: AN AWKWARD, COMPLEX, AND HAZARDOUS SITUATION).
At Quagmire, we’re going to be doing things a little bit different. Our goal, first and foremost, will always be to make our writers the most money and eyes on their work as possible. We want YOU getting published in print to mean something more than just a novelty. That’s why we’re offering revenue sharing to all our print published writers. Any time you send a friend, a family member, or a follower to buy one of our print editions, we’re sending you money in return. This is just the start of our writer-first magazine.
*Fiction Only* Submissions should be no longer than 5000 words.
To celebrate our upcoming first edition, we’re giving away $800 in cash prizes. We want to use this contest as a jumping-off point, where our readers learn who we are, and the kind of work we are publishing.
- 1ST PLACE – $500 + PUBLICATION IN FIRST ISSUE
- 2ND PLACE – $150 + PUBLICATION IN FIRST ISSUE
- 3RD PLACE- $50 + PUBLICATION IN FIRST ISSUE
- 4TH PLACE – $50 + ONLINE PUBLICATION
- 5TH PLACE – $50 – ONLINE PUBLICATION
Submissions must also be blind, meaning your name should not be on it. If it is, it will not be reviewed.
