Esquire Fiction Contest

A reader named Bob wrote in to tell me about the Esquire Fiction Contest, which seems to be one of those rare creatures, the free contest, if I'm reading it correctly . . . In any case, submit up to 4,000 words on one of three titles by August 1: 1. “Twenty-Ten”; 2. “An Insurrection”; and 3. “Never, Ever Bring This Up Again.” Winner will receive $2500.00 and publication in the magazine. See the site for full details, and see our August contest calendar for other listings. And, of course, thanks to Bob for sending it in.
