The Not Quite Write Prize for Flash Fiction challenges writers to break a specific “rule” of writing while still telling a great 500-word story. Compete for a share of $2,000 in cash prizes and the coveted Not Quite Write Prize trophy. Winners are published and read aloud on the Not Quite Write podcast, where the judges share in-depth analysis about the entries and offer free writing advice.

Sign ups are open now and prompts will be released on 18 October and close 20 October.

Entry fee: $25
