SPECFICWORLD'S ANNUAL SPECULATIVE FICTION CONTEST

SpecFicWorld.com's Annual Speculative Fiction Contest is dedicated in helping aspiring science fiction, fantasy, and horror writers find an audience for their work along with putting a little cash in their pockets. The contest is open to both published and unpublished writers.

SpecFicWorld's Annual Contest is currently on hiatus.  The contest will not return any time soon.  We are concentrating on other publishing projects.  We still aspire to help new writers find an audience for their work through our other publishing projects.
