One of my favorite perks of entering a writing contest is the ability to read on. Submission fees should ideally include an issue or subscription to the journal running the contest. Here's a nice example from @BFictionJournal I received in the mail this week.
Need some good, if small and personal, news right now? OK: my first fiction publication is happening!!! 🥰@BFictionJournal, vol. 34, spring 2021. The story's about sleepwalking, step-relations, and mayhem. Check out vol. 33 in the meantime, fresh off the press!
@AEAkinwumi @nlrupert Thank you!!! You can check out more of Jeremey Geddes work on his Instagram page, jeremyispainting, or his website, https://t.co/GwZ2gSZm60
Volume 33 of the Beloit Fiction Journal has been released! If you're at #AWP20 check it out at booth 559 and talk to some of our editors!

Still constantly thinking about the Candyman scene in Willy Wonka (1971) when the candy store owner is just throwing loose candy to the kids, clearly not taking inventory... and Charlie can’t even go in cause he’s too poor? How are the other kids paying? Is it like a monthly fee?
Don't forget, #writers, December 10 is the deadline to submit stories of 7,000 words or less to #litmag Beloit Fiction Journal's (@BFictionJournal) Hamlin Garland Award for the Short Story. $20 fee; $2,000 prize. This year's judge is Jesse Lee Kercheval. https://t.co/FLa6av4Vuo
