Reader nominations for 2009 Million Writers Award

The 2009 Million Writers Award is now open for nominations. This page is for READERS to nominate one short story published in an online magazine during 2008. Editor nominations are here.

If you like what we're doing with this Million Writers Award, please consider making a donation to increase the amount of prize money we can offer. Unlike in previous year's, the 2009 award does not have a monetary sponsor.

Nominations will be accepted through March 31, 2009. If a story is already nominated below, there is no need to nominate that story multiple times. Attempts to "stuff" multiple nominations of the same story by one reader or a group of readers will be deleted.

To nominate a story, please first read the rules, then use the following format to place information in the comment box at the bottom of this page.
