How to submit to Authortrek Short Stories

We have created a new competition to find the Authortrek Writer of the Month via our new site http://authortrek.com/short-stories/:

The rules are very simple -

There is a word limit of 10,000 words

- Here endeth the rules! The stories can be of any genre.

Once you have registered on the site, you can post your story. Registration is free. Indeed, access to the whole of Authortrek Short Stories is free.

Each short story will have a voting button. So, once you have finished posting your story, forward the story link to your friends and ask them to read and vote for your story if they like it (i.e., don't be shy!). Visitors will only be allowed to vote once per story. Your story will be open to feedback from other users of the site, which may be taken into account in the event of a tie (please ensure that you only ever engage in constructive criticism - the administrator reserves the right to bar users who abuse the comment box).

The 3 stories with the most votes from 3 different authors will form the shortlist for each month's award, with Authortrek editor Kevin Mahoney choosing the winner. So it's best to only submit 1 short story per month, or your votes may be split between all the stories that you have entered. It's also a good idea for you submit your story as early in the month as possible, as votes will only be counted per calendar month (not from the date that you submitted the story). The winning author will not win any money or a prize, only the title of Authortrek Writer of the Month, but this is still a mighty fine addition to your writing CV.

So that you can see what short stories on the site will look like, we have published a copy of Guy de Maupassant's excellent tale The Necklace.

Please remember that the story you are posting is going on the internet, so it should have single line spacing not double line spacing - if your story has double line spacing, then your readers will have to scroll down the page a lot more!

Please note that some short stories may contain adult themes.
