Here's a new contest to let you know about: Oceanview Publishing invites writers to send "an original, unpublished short story that has something out of the ordinary about it. We want the story to reflect our own unique approach to publishing. We want something that, like our young company, takes risks, denies the word impossible, and might even be a little twisted." No children's, young adult, or poetry. Follow the guidelines at the Web site. Winner will receive $250 in cash and $150 worth of Oceanview's books, plus publication (with permission) on the Oceanview Web site. Two finalists will receive $100 in cash and $150 worth of Oceanview's books. There is no entry fee. Deadline: November 17, 2008.
