Black Fox<\/em>\u00a0is accepting submissions for its ninth writing contest. The theme for this round is \u201cSecrets Unraveled.\u201d We are open to loose interpretations of the theme in any genre, as always.<\/p>\n

We all have secrets. There are secrets we keep to ourselves, secrets we share with select people, and secrets we bury deep inside. But what happens when those secrets start weighing us down? When they become a burden we can no longer carry?<\/p>\n

We want to know what secrets your characters or narrators have kept hidden. Maybe it\u2019s a secret that has been hidden for years\u2014a past mistake, a forbidden love, or a hidden talent. Or perhaps the secret is something recently discovered\u2014a family secret, a long-held belief, or a buried memory. We\u2019re looking for stories that explore the power of secrets\u2014how they shape us, define us, and ultimately, how they can set us free.<\/p>\n

Please submit your strongest fiction, nonfiction, or poetry, and we will choose one winner that we feel interprets the theme best. The prize is $300 and publication in the Summer 2023 issue. All submissions are considered for publication in the Summer 2023 issue. The contest entry fee is $12, and submissions must be submitted before midnight (EST) on June 18, 2023.<\/p>\n

Please make sure your manuscript is double-spaced with 12-point font. Submissions should be no more than 5,000 words. For poetry, send up to three poems in the same document. For flash fiction, send up to two stories in the same document. Author\u2019s name and page number should appear in the top right-hand corner of every page.
