Clik to read more about the iLiad
It has been said there are no good short story writers any more. That's why project Gutenberg had to upload all the old classics for their ebooks. But does the gracious style of the print books of the past read well on-screen? Is there a different style needed for glass books?
Does the fiction of yesterday require too much screen space for today's impatient online reader? Perhaps we need something new, not exactly text shorthand, but something in between - the shorter, sharper, fiction of the Glass Book!
Do you disagree?
So show us! What is the fiction style that works for the e-reader? Send in your short stories 4 the iLiad 3 categories of 3000 words 1 of 1000
Send in your manuscripts with receipt number, contact email, and the category entered, clearly printed on the cover sheet. NO NAMES PLEASE - your receipt number is your Entry ID.
Posted entries will receive priority, but digital files are also welcome in txt and rtf format.
