Furious Fiction Challenge [October 2023] by the Australian Writers’ Centre: Submit Entries by Oct 8!

Submissions are invited for the Furious Fiction Challenge for October 2023 by the Australian Writers’ Centre. Submit by October 8!

AWC was created with a simple goal – to provide practical, industry-relevant training for anyone with a desire to write.

Since launching their first courses in 2005, they’ve grown into an empowering destination for creatives – a dynamic hub for writers all over the globe. They’ve helped thousands of students achieve their goals – from landing book deals, getting published, amassing freelance clients, changing careers and ultimately surprising themselves with what can be made possible through doing a writing course.

Here are your creative criteria for OCTOBER:

Embrace the creative challenge and be as original as possible!

Your story must be a maximum of 500 words. Hyphenated words and contractions each count as just one word.

They also love seeing you share the fun throughout the weekend by tagging #furiousfiction in your Twitter and Instagram updates.

An important part of creating memorable stories is to engage a reader’s senses. This includes making them SEE what your character sees and building up a picture in the reader’s mind.

Please complete the form HERE to submit your story.

Submissions close MIDNIGHT Sunday, October 8, 2023 (Sydney/Melbourne time). A countdown timer is located on the website.
