How bizarre that a novella stands to win $1000, yet a short story $1250 "A,B&E", "Not In My Name" and "52FF" (flash fiction anthology) all available on Amazon Kindle

"How a psychopath makes sweet love. I can get you ringside. Royal box even."

I think they are having issues with their website. I clicked on the current info for them - Contest closing dates -

as you can see, all of their closing dates are in 2010.

I sent an e-mail to them asking them to clarify but I'm pretty sure the dates listed in the chart given above are correct.

Also, check out to the right of their page and get your sample copy of the magazine. It is put together very well and whomever gets published will be quite happy, at least in my opinion.

Oh, and if you decide to enter, make sure you follow the guidelines:

They've been around for about seven years and they produce one of the most beautiful litarary magazines I've ever seen. They sell them at Barnes and Nobel here in the U.S.

You can go to the link below and then scroll down on the right side until you get to the free sample issue. Take a look. They are revamping their website so some of the info may appear with old dates but I did confirm the entry dates with the editor.
