Announcing the Tales2Inspire 2022 Short Story Contest - No Submission Fees

 Tales2Inspire Offers Talented Writers a Great Opportunity to Showcase Your Writing Talents for FREE

Twelve years ago I created Tales2inspire®, an "Authors Helping Authors" worldwide project/contest for writers seeking more recognition for their talents. It’s an Authors Helping Authors project because each author whose story makes it through phase one, becomes a mentor/anonymous judge to three other such authors.

Tales2inspire® is also a contest, but charges no entry fees. And if your story makes it through to publication, you get lots of FREE PR to help you brand yourself as an author of talent. All you need is some writing skills, a bit of energy and an inspiring story to share. 

 Theme for 2022 submission: Amazing Adventures

But keep in mind, you don't have to travel far from home to have an 
amazing adventure. 
Adventures can happen in your own back yard.

Before you begin, here are two things I suggest you do to help you succeed:

• CLICK HERE for all contest details (or copy and paste https://www.tales2inspire.com/contest-2 into your browser). 

CLICK HERE for a free sampler of winning stories published in an assortment of different Tales2Inspire® books. Read them to get the flavor of what makes a Tales2Inspire® winner. 

And if you feel a bit intimidated about judging the work of other writers, rest assured, I have created a form in a click, click, click format to simplify the process.

Looking forward to reading some amazing new stories!
