“My life is a sham.” So begin the stories for the Fall 2009 competition at The First Line. If you can write a winning story using “My life is a sham,” as the hook in 3,000 words or less, you could see your work in print, online, and raise your wallet balance by $20.00.
There are also some giveaways at the website, such as a free reading copy of an older issue of The First Line. Your only obligation is a promise to set it free to other readers when you’re done with it. This is one way to peruse the previous winning entries. Another way is to enter the free subscription contest. Eighty-eight subscriptions still remain to be claimed as of April 9, 2009. All you have to do is find a business card somewhere in a large bookstore that entitles you to a free subscription to The First Line. When is the last time you went on a scavenger hunt?
