FAILBETTER NOVELLA CONTEST
http://www.failbetter.com/Novella.php
Your novella must be 8,000 words or more and suitable for serial publication. For the contest, send only the first 5,000 words. You must submit via e-mail, either pasted in the body of your e-mail or as an RTF or TXT attachment. Limit of one entry per person.
Note: All entries are considered for publication, but they do not pay for regular submissions. If you only submit to paying markets, don't let the no pay possibility stop you here. They would need to contact you for the full manuscript if they wanted to publish your novella, so you could withhold it.

F.I.S.H.
Yesterday I attended the final performance in the world premier run of F.I.S.H. in New Bern. Leslie Tall Manning, a former member of Carteret Writers, wrote the story line to link the songs written by Andrea and Phil Owens.
It was very well done, combining humor and philosophy. "We fish are upheld and supported on all sides. We lean confidently and harmoniously upon our element. We move in all dimensions, and whatever course we take, the mighty waters out of reverence for our virtue change shape accordingly." Isak Dinesan, "The Diver"
