scratchcoverphotoThe writing contest that’s itching to discover new talent.

If you’ve been writing quality short fiction that isn’t getting noticed, here’s your opportunity to submit to a contest that WANTS to help.

Find out how to enter, see past winners, and more… at scratchcontest.net!

We have extended the fiction submission list– you can now submit novel excerpts, scripts and plays, with a 5000 word limit.

Buy the 2008 Scratch Anthology or buy it at Amazon.

And just released, the new 2009 Anthology:

SCRATCH Volume 2 (buy online at our store)

with artwork by the amazing Henry Avignon.

We are exciting to announce the expansion of scratch

Now accepting all genres of original, previously unpublished poetry.

And partnering to bring writers retreats to the writing community.

welcome: Write by the Water

“Silence is the sea, and speech is like the river.
The sea is seeking you: don’t seek the river.
Don’t turn your head away from the signs offered by the sea.”

~Rumi
