Due to unseasonably nice weather and an absence of submissions thus far, the deadline for our contest has been extended to August 10’th.  This benevolence shouldn’t be taken lightly.  Dust off your quill and dash off a submission soon!

It's summer, you're bored, and it's too hot to play outside, so what to do?

Become famous!  Enter The Guild of Outsider Writers "Unite the Write" contest.

Your display of compositional dexterity will surely amaze your friends and startle any enemies you happen to have.

Here's the sizzle:

1) To be considered as a finalist, each contestant must submit three pieces of writing, a poem, an essay, and a piece of fiction.

2) There is no specific theme, but all pieces must revolve around their own theme. (i.e. If you write an essay on the Care Bears, your poetry and fiction work must also be on the Care Bears)

3) Word Count Requirements for each:

Poetry: No more than 50 lines
Fiction: No more than 2000 words
Essay: No more than 2000 words

4) All entries must be sent into: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it by midnight on July 31'st, 2008. Please attach in 12 point Standard MS format and via attachment WORD doc or RTF

5) Winners will be announced on August 15, 2008 at 10:52:04pm or somewhere before or after that time. 

6) Winner gets copies of books/chapbooks by OW members McGinins, Hyde, King and Finch.  Good late summer reading!


OK, Now send us the steak!

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun!

Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
