We are trying something new at Valhalla Press, a Legal Professional Writing Contest. In the past, our contests were open to anyone as is the case with our current Flash Fiction/Flash Memoir contest. However, we know many legal professionals who are closet novelists, bloggers, or even poets. (We have even heard some fantasize about being the next John Grisham or Lisa Scottoline.) Given legal professionals' skills and yearnings, we felt we should create a forum just for them.
We define "legal professional" broadly to include judges, attorneys, paralegals and even law students. Because writing is so integral to the legal profession, we hope our contestants will provide us with some literary gold nuggets. Submissions may be either fiction or nonfiction and must be 5,000 words or less. Click here for complete contest rules (Gotta have rules for a legal writing contest, right?).
First prize is $500, an e-reader, and publication in our e-lit journal Ragnarok . Contestants who wish to get a feel for the types of work we are looking for should download the inaugural Ragnarok issue. To enter the contest, go to our contest page to submit your entry fee and story.
