I've been a silent lurker for a while. So far I've only had rejected stories of those I've submitted to wotf contest. I've only entered about three times and those times are far apart. I'm hoping to enter in Quarter 3 and 4 since it is summer and I'm a professor and am smart enough to NOT teach sum...

I have a question that may seem on the newb side. Does anyone ever enter both writer and illustrator contests in the same quarter? What I'm thinking of entering for Q1 (assuming I have the time of course) has a nice visual that is tempting to try to illustrate. Follow up... has anyone ever won both ...

How awesome it is to hear from Kary English who in my book is a WOTF legend and brings us brownies on top of that! The next Writers of the Future volume I intend to read from start to finish is the one with Kary's winning story in it. Can't wait!!! wotf015 Thanks Kary for posting in the forum. And s...

Just my opinion, but it seems to me if they want to see shorter stories, perhaps the word count limit in the rules should be lowered to, say, 10K max? I hope not. And I think not...this limit was set long ago. I like long stories, it's what I also write. Darci Stone's story is a good example of why...

Anyone else feel ready to submit? I don't know how much more I want to tweak this story. I kinda want to submit it now. I know exactly that feeling. You've spent lots of time on the thing. Lived with it. Tweaked it. Edited it. And while once you were in love with the story now you just want it off ...

I'm back after a long break. I needed a change of pace and enjoy catching up by reading forum posts. It's like visiting a faraway land and seeing what the questing knights are up to. I love reading about the March workshop and learning from the great gurus and folks going to the gala and winning the...

Submitted May 24...

The "small announcement" is posted now. And somehow I feel this thread is the perfect place for such a wacky revelation. wotf004 Of course Gator is beginning to regret mentioning it, as she's starting to realize the full implications... https://ecaimansands.com/2016/06/09/a-small-announce...

I am now following you on goodreads and I listed you book as want to read.

May not do much but even a little might do something for it.

Many thanks LDWriter2...

Hello Kristy, Sorry to hear about your registration issues. I spent the better part of a morning (a week or so ago) trying to figure out avatars. But I don't recall troubles with registration, so it must be a recent phenomenon. I have an entry in 2016 quarter 3 after taking a 2 year break. So you've...

Thanks amoskalik, congrats on your three honorable mentions ! I only entered the WOTF contest once before in 2014 and my story was rejected. Writing a good short story is a hard nut to crack. Best wishes, Amy

Hello. My username is Guthington. My pen name was going to be Jamie Lee Guthington, but I've settled on L. A. Patrick instead. I don't post much here. Mainly because I'm too much of a newb to know what's what. I did attend one of Orson Scott Card's bootcamps several summers ago and learned tons. Any...

Hey, I entered my first WOTF entry for quarter three. I've enjoyed reading your posts. Not sure what I'm doing exactly, but I feel compelled to write science fiction. Luck to everyone!
