I had a story selected for Volume II and was pleased with the result. In the past the editors have nominated for the Pushcart Prize. I'm not sure if they are this time, but that would be a good question to ask if you e-mail them. Good luck!

NOTE: Tuesday night I confirmed with Lou Turner that short story submissions will be accepted from all writers. You DO NOT have to belong to OWL to submit to Voices Anthology, but you do have to include a $10 fee for each submission.
Am I correct in thinking you can not enter the Voices contest unless you are a member of OWL? I am just learning of this group.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great tips, Donna!
ReplyDeleteHi Dianna nd Bookie,
ReplyDeleteYou are both welcome.
I'm 99.9% sure you don't have to belong to OWL to submit, but to be sure e-mail Lou or Delois.
