I'm happy to announce the first Creative Cookie Fashion Fiction contest! What is Fashion Fiction? It's fashion focused flash fiction in 650 words or less. From magical stilettos to earrings that grant supernatural powers, a serial killing stylist to a bow tie with talking paisleys. It's your imagination - I won't judge you personally, just the writing itself so dare to move an envelope. What's your fashion reality? What is your fashion fantasy? How does it translate into flash fiction?
What happens next?
Submissions will be published on the Creative Cookie blog & in a special edition of Easily inspired--the Creative Cookie zine! One lucky winner will get $50 gift card to Barnes and Noble & other goodies from Creative Cookie sponsors. The winner will be selected by a team of writers who love fashion. Tailor short pieces that you've already started or begin from scratch, just be sure to follow the following guidelines.
