2006 Hendrickson Memorial Prize in Short Fiction
Below, you’ll find the guidelines for the upcoming Hendrickson Memorial Prize in Short Fiction. After over 1300 poems were submitted for last year’s HMP in Poetry, we’re expecting a big turnout this year. Of course, keep in mind that although the HMP allows only one piece to be submitted, you can always submit additional stories for publication outside the HMP rules and regulations; this allows authors to submit additional pieces they feel are representative of their work. Good luck to all entrants!
