Furious Fiction Challenge [August 2023] by the Australian Writers’ Centre: Submit Entries by Aug 6!

Submissions are invited for the Furious Fiction Challenge for August 2023 by the Australian Writers’ Centre. Submit by Aug 6!

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 AUGUST:

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.

Confining your story to one location in flash fiction can help to hone the story – it’s one less element that the reader needs to keep track of, allowing you (and them) to focus on the characters and action alone.

NOTE: Their submission box is allergic to italics. So if you require italics for your story, please place an asterisk *before and after* in the italic section(s).

Please complete the form HERE to submit your story.

Submissions close MIDNIGHT Sunday 6 August 2023 (Sydney/Melbourne time). A countdown timer is located on the website.
