Preparing to Submit a Story?

The deadline for submitting your story is only a few days away. I hope you are considering submitting a story for our first WRITE;TALK Awards. Your deadline is July 1st, so you still have time to craft a short story to send in. Or if you find a story of yours from your past to submit, that is fine.

Categories

1. Christian Historical Fiction - Set in Biblical times with a new storyline, using known or new characters.
2. Christian Fiction - Original stories with Christian World View Themes.
3. Christian Non-Fiction - True stories about Christians, in any period.

The original short story entries should be 1000 to 10,000 words in length except for categories 5 and 6. Please do not submit stories that are AI-generated in part or whole.

DEADLINE: All works should be submitted by July 1, 2024. You may submit more than one entry. You may submit a donation to the ministry of FGI, but it is not required to enter the contest. Submit your story as a PDF document, in 12 point, upper/lower case, Times Roman font, or similar, to: Info@freegrace.in.
