We have received many inquiries about future submission periods, and in response we will be adding a December contest. This two month break should give you writers a chance to fine tune your entries and prepare your best work. And it will give us a chance to promote the fantastic writers who have won the contest thus far, and whose work is about to go on sale on Amazon.com.
Contest Calendar:
Monday, October 16: September voting period ends
Tuesday, October 24: Winners are announced for September contest period
Friday, December 1: December contest period begins
**Please note: any submissions we receive before December 1st will be held and posted when the December contest period begins)
Thank you to everyone for making this writing contest such a success!

There are a few questions surrounding the writing contest. We are taking a hiatus for a couple months, but the competition will resume once again in December. Any 2,000-10,000 word entries that are submitted from now until December are automatically placed in queue for the December competition. You will receive notification once your entry is live in December. Because of the amount of entries we will be receiving, not all entries will be posted on the first day of December. We will, however, try and post the stories as quickly and efficiently as possible.
The contest is open to anyone around the world - we have already had a couple international winners! The July winners are currently for sale on Amazon for 49 cents, so go to Amazon.com/shorts to support your fellow Gather members!
If you have any other questions, simply email amazonshorts@gather.com. Check amazonshorts.gather.com for updates and in December for more exciting entries to read and vote upon!
Best,
The Amazon Shorts Admin
