The annual WestSide Story Contest is open to all genres of literary fiction. We're now in our fifth year and happy to announce our recent partnering with the established Berkeley Branch of the California Writers Club (www.cwc-berkeley.com) who is hosting the contest from now on. The Writers Club is the third oldest organization of its kind in the country, founded in the early 1900s by Jack London.

Our merger brought about a few changes, while much has stayed the same. Entry fee per story remains $11. Prizes now are: $250 for the grand prize, $100 for 2nd prize and $50 for 3rd. Prize winners will be invited to read their story at the December luncheon meeting of the Berkeley Branch of the California Writers Club. As always, the three winning stories and, if any, semifinalists and honorary mentions will be published at: www.westsidestorycontest.com.

All entries receive a chapbook in December 2009 featuring the winning stories and, if any, semifinalists and honorary mentions.

Submission window is between now and September 1, 2009.

This year’s judge is Lucille Bellucci, a writer of five published novels, numerous first-place award-winning stories and essays, and the literary collection, Pastiche: Stories and Such. (www.lucillebellucci.com)
