Specifically, fantasy fiction writing contests.<\/p>\n
No, nothing that this site is sponsoring, but someone with a very similar name: Fantasist Enterprises.\u00a0 They currently have two contests going.\u00a0 One has a deadline of October 15, 2006 and is called Fantastical Visions<\/a>. This is open to authors submitting any previously unpublished work under 10,000 words with fantasy as a primary or central theme. The nice thing about both of these contests, however, is that there is no entrance fee for a single manuscript.\u00a0 That’s very unusual, in my experience, and why I’m mentioning it here.\u00a0 So, if you have any inclination to write at all and, like me, needed a goal to help get started working on something<\/em>, then check out these contests.

\nThe other contest is the Sails and Sorcery<\/a> contest. This contest has a deadline of January 15, 2007 and, as one might guess from the title, has a theme.\u00a0 That theme is sailing!\u00a0 More specifically, “nothing with a feel that is later than the early 19th century” and with an emphasis on a Pirates of the Carribean feel to it.\u00a0 The site lists several examples, and has more details, but, again, fantasy needs to be an essential part of the story.<\/p>\n
