The category is for pieces of 750 words or less in either fiction or creative nonfiction.

Established and emerging writers are encouraged to enter. Winners will receive a $250 cash prize and be published on the WNBA’s website, in its Bookwoman Newsletter, and in an anthology along with past contest winners. All entries must be submitted online through Submittable. Entry fees are $20 for nonmembers and $15 for WNBA members. Complete submission guidelines can be found on the WNBA’s writing contest page.
