Taking Submissions: 100 Word Project January 2025
ManawakerDeadline: January 30th, 2025 Payment: $1 per story accepted Theme: 100 word story about the Sun Submissions for the 100 Word Project from Manawaker Studio are open January thru May and July thru November. The 100 Word Project is an ongoing project focused on 100 word stories which will be published as a monthly, themed online journal and in a yearly print anthology. Each month (except for June and December) will bring a new prompt, and on the last weekday of the month nine of the submitted drabbles for that prompt will be posted in the public-facing section of the Manawaker Patreon alongside one drabble from Manawaker EiC, CB Droege. At the end of the year, the ten stories from each of the ten prompts will be assembled into the next volume of the 100 x 100 series.

General guideline: Would you feel uncomfortabel reading the story to a group that includes at least one 12 year old child? If so, maybe it’s not right for us). If your work is accepted, you will grant Manawaker Studio the right to publish the work non-exclusively (we will ask nicely for exclusivity for one...
