Short Story Contest—Write Fiction for Money!

By Kent d Curry
August 13, 2007

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

We’re proud to announce ninetyandnine.com’s Short Story Contest for 2007. The contest details are below, but basically we’d like to challenge you to create an (up to 2,000 word story for ninetyandnine for real prize money. It would be our exclusive (it can’t have been published anywhere else, including your own blog or website) to publish.

Before we give away our hard-earned money (you are using our Amazon link when purchasing there, correct?) we must receive a minimum of 15 entries. Only one story per writer please.

If there’s a great response we’ll do it again next year (and maybe sooner).

Amaze and Thrill Us

It’s up to you on content. All we ask is that it’s morally clean and could be equally enjoyed by believers and non-believers.

Frankly, we’d love to become a congregation point for Apostolic creativity before it’s disseminated to web sites and churches around the world.

Will It Work?

We hope so. You have until September 30, 2007 (7 weeks) to write your idea, then we’ll show the winners to the world. Who knows where God will take it from there?
