ASTORIA — The Haunted
Astoria Short Story Writ-
ing Contest has returned
after an eight-year sabbat-
ical.
The deadline for entries
is Saturday, Oct., 6. There
is a $6 entry fee for the
first story and $4 for addi-
tional story submissions by
the same author. An author
may submit up to three
entries.
The 2018 theme is
Graveyard of the Pacific.
“We give artistic reign for
authors to interpret the
theme,” coordinator Cyndi
Mudge said.
Scoring considers how
writers incorporate the his-
tory, landscape or historic
buildings and landmarks of
the area — including those
that no longer exist — into
their story. “However, this
is intended to be fiction, so
let the imaginations flour-
ish!” Mudge said.
The contest includes a
writer’s showcase where a
sampling of submissions
will be read and winners
announced at Inferno
Lounge, 6 p.m. Wednesday,
Oct. 24.
