Emerging Writer Contest 2! 
Stories Written by Hummingbird Readers.

(And YOU vote on your favorite!)


Thank you to those that have submitted entries for the Hummingbird Emerging Writer Contest 2. Good luck to all!

The next step in the process is the review of all entries by a panel of Hummingbird contributors. They will choose the top two entries for HB Reader consideration. The story receiving the highest number of Hummingbird Reader votes will be the winner of the contest.

We had over 200 reads of the Contest page which resulted in a strong field of competitors. The two top stories, as determined by the HB panel, will be posted anonymously for your vote beginning on January 26, 2019.

  • Hummingbird voting commences on January 26, 2019 and ends February 8, 2019.

  • The winner will be announced and the winning story/essay will be published and promoted on February 16, 2019.

The winning author, based on Hummingbird audience vote, will be invited to submit an original story of their choosing for future publication on Hummingbird on an agreed upon date. The short story or essay can have up to 400 words. The story or essay must be approved for publication by the publisher.
