Stories Out of School Flash Fiction Contest
NO ENTRY FEE. Deadline October 1, 2019. Teachers seldom appear in fiction. This annual contest was created to inspire honest, unsentimental stories about teachers and the rich and complex world of schools. This year, the Academy for Teachers has partnered with Electric Literature to publish the winning entry. The story’s protagonist or its narrator must be a K-12 teacher. The story must be between six and 749 words long. The story must be previously unpublished. The first-prize winner will receive $1,000, and the story will be published online in The Commuter, our home for brief, diverting, and innovative writing. The second-prize winner will receive $500.
