Summer 2024 Micro-fiction Contest! Join in on the Fun!




It's been a spell since our last, so... we are excited to announce the Loud Coffee Press Summer Micro-fiction Contest!


All you have to do is check out the photo on the inside back cover of our latest issue and write a 250-word story about it. It can be about anything your brain can dream up, make sure it's 250 words or shorter!


Why only 250 words? We've found that working within tight constraints fosters creativity and teaches economic storytelling. For tips on writing micro-fiction, check out this link to NYC Midnight! NYC Midnight is known for its fun writing contests. We've participated in a few in years gone by!


If you're thinking about participating, we encourage you to get off the fence and give it a try. Even if you've never written before, this is a wonderful place to start! Also, if you know someone who might be interested, please share!


Details below:


Prize: We will feature the winner in our upcoming fall 2024 issue and the winner will receive two free print copies of that issue!


Here’s how you enter:


1. Check out the inside back cover of our summer 2024 issue due on 8/16 where you see an image.

2. Write a 250-word or less story based on the image and email LOUDCOFFEEPRESS@Gmail.com with the subject line: Summer 2024 Micro-Fiction Contest.

3. Include a brief Biography.


All submissions must be in by 9/30/2024!

No Purchase Necessary: You can view the image for free by viewing our magazine online or purchasing a print copy.

Happy Writing!

I don't know why but I thought the swan image was the one for the contest. I was up half the night writing for that one! Sigh.😣 I don't see the correct one somehow! Horrid being a newbie! If anyone could show me where the right image is I would truly appreciate it.
