This Friday, February 27th, at 10PM CST, we kick off the inaugural Jerboa Lit 250 mini-contest!

This is a brand new 250-word, 48-hour flash fiction contest: writers will have the weekend to write us a piece of flash fiction based on a prompt consisting of a genre and a character type, to be drawn from our special Video Hat live on YouTube ( https://youtube.com/@JerboaLit" rel="nofollow - https://youtube.com/@JerboaLit ). We'll email the prompt to all of our registered writers, who will compete for a chance to win part of $1,000 in prizes, including $500 for first place! The contest is only $15 to enter, and has a quick turnaround time: winners will be announced within a month!

Registration closes this Friday at 9:50PM CST, so sign up now! http://www.jerboalit.com/registration-250" rel="nofollow - https://www.jerboalit.com/registration-250

We can't wait to read what you come up with!

-- Hallie and David, the Jerboa Lit team
