The Judge
We are delighted Lucy Floyd has agreed to judge our inaugural competition.
Eleven of Lucy’s novels, which include Yesterday and Baptism of Fire, were published before she turned to writing screenplays for film and TV. She remains a regular contributor of short stories and serials for magazines around the world. Her work has been translated into thirteen languages.
Lucy says,
“I'll be looking for a good story with an uncontrived ending, and for tight, economic use of language which makes every word earn its keep. The entry can be in any genre, it's the way it's written that counts.”
Please note this is NOT the Lucy Floyd who writes for children.

Wag's Review Winter Writers Contest
Size limit: 10,000 words
Currently, Wag’s Revue is only accepting submissions for its Winter Writers Contest in fiction, poetry, and essays. First prize is $1,000 and publication in Issue 13; second prize is $500; and third prize is $100. All submissions are considered for publication. The contest is judged by the editors and closes February 29, 2012. Winners will be announced with the release of Issue 13 in August.
Please read all guidelines carefully before submitting. We also strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with the magazine by reading our past issues, all of which are available for free at www.wagsrevue.com.
Each entry must be accompanied by a $20 reading fee, paid via PayPal, plus the $0.94 credit card fee and $1.15 Submishmash charges for its services. Check or cash not accepted. As our fiscal sponsor is the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), “NYFA EO Art” will appear on your statement. You are welcome to submit more than once to the contest, but note each entry must be paid for separately. Poetry submissions may include multiple poems but should not exceed ten pages. Fiction and Essays must be less than 10,000 words.
Wag’s Revue asks for first serial rights to all published work; all other rights revert to the author upon publication. All submissions must be previously unpublished. Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please promptly withdraw your entry if it is accepted elsewhere by notifying us at editors@wagsrevue.com.
Author biographies should be kept brief and are not required. As the contest is blind, please refrain from including any contact or biographical information on the submission itself. We look forward to reading your work.
