2009 Raymond Carver Short Story Contest



The 10th Annual Raymond Carver Short Story Contest is now open until March 31st.

The judge is Melvin Sterne, founder and original editor of the magazine.

Salt author Elizabeth Baines came third in this last year, so they are not biased towards American voices, as I might have previously supposed. (I feel that about a lot of US based short story mags/contests, but I'm open to correction...?!)

Prizes: $1000, $750, $500. There are also two editor's choice prizes of $250 each.

For rules see: Carvezine.com

Winners will be announced on the website on June 1. Stories will be published in the Summer 2009 issue on June 15.

Any contest related questions, please email contest@carvezine.com.

Happy writing!
