Another way to write short stories online for money is to win writing competitions.....,
There’s actually lots of short story competitions out there, and the prizes for coming first or.. even within the top few spots can be several hundred or thousands of dollars.
Granted, writing competitions often have small entry fees to make sure you’re serious about writing, but there are tons of cash prizes to be won and contests running year round.
Here are a few short story competitions to get you started:
Zoetrope Stories 2021: This competition will have 3 winners with a top cash prize of $1,000 and an additional 7 honourable mentions. Entries under 5,000 words from unpublished writers will be considered and the top 10 will be considered for representation by several literary agencies.
The Masters Review: This platform is centred around emerging writers and their current competition is offering a first place prize of $3000. There’s also second ($300) and third ($200) place prizes, and all winners will receive publication and agency review.
Narrative Magazine: This narrative contest has a cash prize of $4000 and runs every year with the same deadline of June 15. They’re looking for both fiction and non-fiction submissions of any genre style, up to 15,000 words.
