At Our Stories, we believe it is better to give than receive. We don't buy into the idea that you should submit stories to a contest and not get anything in return. In exchange for your submission fee we review your work, so you always walk away with something.

 

 

The video below is an example of one of our reviews for our Bausch and Emerging Writer contests

Our Flash Fiction reviews consist of one to three paragraphs of general feedback.

 

 

Here are some PDF sample reviews we've done:

Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 | Sample 4

If your story is not chosen for publication, we give you a customized review. In this review we will critique your plot, the dialogue, the beginning, and the ending. Essentially, this is an MFA quality review for your story.

Don't just submit to a contest and not get anything in return. Instead find out how to improve your story. And maybe your writing. Your your investment in your art and your money is worth at least that, right?

If you win, you have the chance to win money and appear on our pages. If you don't win, you still get a review of your work. We call it a win-win.
