Happy New Year! My name is Matt Jackson. I’m the owner of a small publishing company called Summit Studios, and I wanted to let you know that we have recently organized a story contest that will be running until February 29, 2012.

We’re giving away $3,000 in cash prizes to nine winners in four distinct categories, including a $1,000 Grand Prize. Visit our web site (www.summitstudios.biz) to download Story Contest Guidelines and to familiarize themselves with the types of stories we like to publish. They will find several previously published stories under some of the author profiles in our Writers’ Spotlight section.

For writers who do not win a prize: if their story fits our parameters, there is a good chance we will publish it in one of four new humour anthologies to be released in 2012 and 2013. We pay a minimum $100 honorarium for every story that we publish.
