**All submissions must be in the theme of work. Submissions must be in Word (.doc), formatted with Times New Roman, 12-point font, and single space. Email submissions with subject heading “[specific category] Contest Submission” to workzine@gmail.com (example: Memoir Contest Submission).

Please submit only your best work. Include .jpeg photographs, artworks, or illustrations if doing so enhances or supplements your piece. A $15 submission fee will apply to all contest participants. Fees may be filed through this PayPal link.

 

WORK’s category expectations are as follows:

 Essay is a discussion or examination of a particular topic or theme, not  necessarily related to the author.

 Memoir is a narrative based on a person’s experience.

 Interview is an in-depth discussion with, in this context, someone who holds or formerly held an interesting, unusual or otherwise important occupation, that in the process of discussion reveals more about the occupation and/or the person than could be ascertained without the interview.

 Fiction is a rendering of imagined happenings which, through implementation of craft, appears to be true.
