From the "Three-Minute Fiction NPR" Facebook Fan Page:

Round 10 of Three-Minute Fiction on NPR's All Things Considered will begin on Saturday, February 2nd! The guest judge and prompt will be announced then. Get your pencils ready!!

This is a fun contest if you haven't tried it already. NPR has recently added "favorites" to their web site as the contest progresses, so even if you don't win, there's a chance to be "published" online.


Look for the Facebook Fan Page or find the NPR link for details. (Entries submitted via Submittable.)

Round 11 opens May 4.

A writing prompt will be posted then. Based on the prompt, write a story that can be read aloud in three minutes or less (max 600 words).

Entries are usually open only for a week. More info can be found at the website: www.npr.org/threeminutefiction. (Please note, the information won't be updated until the prompt is posted, but the rules should be similar from contest to contest.)
