The American Heroes Writing Contest seeks (presumably true) stories about law enforcement, fire, military and other emergency services personnel. The competition will result in an anthology, but only the grand prize winner and one runner-up may receive cash prizes (or credit toward a publishing package with American Heroes Press), so be SURE to read the fine print: by entering, you grant first publishing rights to your work. All entrants will receive an electronic copy of the final anthology. All participants will receive an electronic copy of the anthology. No entry fee. Deadline: January 31, 2009. Details here.
