Hey Blogtown! Some of you have got to be writers. Bear Deluxe Magazine is accepting submissions for their annual Doug Fir Fiction contest. Author Jim Lynch is the judge and the entry fee is only $15 (I know).

They want stories "relating to a sense of place or the natural world, interpreted as broadly or narrowly as you wish."

It's a legit chance to win $1,000.00 and publication in Bear Deluxe so pick out your best story under 5,000 words, brush it up, and send it off. The deadline is September 8th.

Send entries to:
