Congrats to our honorable mentions for the Jerboa Lit 250 magical realism competition! ✨ We couldn’t let these stories go unrecognized, and they’ve all won a free entry to the next mini-contest. When is that? Glad you asked! Join us November 20 when we draw the prompt for the next mini-contest!
Magic is real, and we felt it as we read these winning stories from the latest Jerboa Lit 250 ✨ Each tale of magical realism charmed and delighted us, and, as always, we were blown away by the talented writers in our community. Join us November 20 when we draw the prompt for the next mini-contest!
Glad to hear it!
Short, sweet, and full of magic 🪄 Magical realism is the genre for this weekend’s 250-word contest! The character archetype to include is a failure, so maybe things won’t be so magical for them. Who knows! Not us! This is going to be a good one. We can’t wait. Have fun, writers!
