The Academy for Teachers Stories Out of School Flash Fiction Contest
NO ENTRY FEE. Deadline September 1, 2020. This annual contest was created to inspire honest, unsentimental stories about teachers and the rich and complex world of schools. Our partner this year is A Public Space. There are a few criteria for submissions. The story’s protagonist, or its narrator, must be a K-12 teacher. Stories must be between 6 and 749 words and previously unpublished. Any adult over the age of eighteen (whether a teacher or not) is welcome to submit. Only one submission per writer. Sentimentality is discouraged and education jargon is forbidden. The winning story comes with a $1,000 prize and publication in the print edition of A Public Space. Runners-up will receive a subscription to A Public Space.
