Desperate Literature

About the organization

Desperate Literature Short Fiction Prize aims to both celebrate the best of new short fiction and to give winners the most visibility possible for their writing. That’s why we’ve teamed up with fourteen different literary and artistic institutions to not only offer cash prizes and writing retreats but also to ensure that all shortlisted have the opportunity to be published in multiple print and online journals, have their work put in front of literary agents, and present their stories in multiple countries.
