Editor’s note: The Fictional Cafe Writing Contest is the brain child of Jason Brick, FC’s Anthology Barista. An accomplished author of fiction and nonfiction, Jason is also a heck of an editor. Two years ago, he co-edited Baby Shoes, a collection of 100 works of flash fiction – written by 100 individual authors. Jason is the Conference Chair of this year’s Willamette Writers Conference as well, which is August 4-5-6 in Portland, Oregon.

We’re awfully proud of him, and delighted he’s going to be the managing editor of Fictional Café’s first anthology – which you will also get a chance to help name!

    Is it permissible to submit more than one entry, if they are in different categories (e.g., art, and literary fiction), understanding that each submission costs $10?

    • Mike Mavilia says:

      Yes! You may send multiple submissions. Thanks for asking and we hope you’ll submit some of your work!
