2008 Fiction Contest Now Open!

Our 2008 Fiction Contest is now accepting submissions. With $600 in cash prizes, publication for the top three stories, and a pushcart nomination for the winning entry, we hope lots of storytellers will be excited about participating.

This year, we welcome the esteemed novelist, essayist, and story writer Thomas E. Kennedy as guest judge. Kennedy's 22 books have garnered wide attention. His essays, interviews, and stories (some of which have appeared in Perigee's pages), like all of his work, have consistently challenged and thrilled. He is the recipient of both the O. Henry and Pushcart awards.
