Short Story Contests by Month

Don't miss out on any important opportunities -- use these lists of short story contests, grants, residencies, and other awards to stay on top of deadlines.

You might also check out articles on this site on how to publish your short stories -- and how to know if you're even ready to publish.

To submit the names of any short story contests that I have missed, please email me at fictionwriting.guide@about.com.
