Best Start (not to exceed 1,000 words)i wish there were more contests like this. i like the idea of 50 different small prizes. it seems like there's a better chance to win your money back and then some.
Prizes: The 50 most engaging pieces will each win $50 and make Glimmer Train's Best Start list, which will be announced in our December bulletin as well as on other major blogs for writers.Other considerations: Reading fee is $10 per piece. Open only to new writers
whose fiction has not appeared in a nationally distributed print publication with a
circulation over 3,000.
i also wish i could enter. i am sad but it seems i am "too big" to enter (pen america's circulation is above 3,000), although this is sort of new and cool at the same time

"too big to enter" lol
zing!
dont forget about the mississippi review contest. deadline is oct. 1 i think black warrior is also open right now too, actually
i want to say that i had planned on saying exactly what the comment above me says, which may make this a waste of space, but also it should serve as a reminder that if two people independently tell you the same thing you should probably fucking do it.
