Submit to Inkitt's Free Horror Contest Today!

Think you got the goods to write a terrifying horror story? Then submit your work to Inkitt’s “Darkest Place” Horror Contest, starting today!


What is Inkitt?

Inkitt [Twitter] is a free platform for writers to cultivate ideas and watch their stories grow. On our site, users collaborate with fellow writers and readers to give each other feedback and improve
their work. Our vision is to help writers get the exposure they deserve and the publishing
deals they covet without having to jump through the fiery hoops of traditional publishing, or
wade in the shark-infested waters of self-publishing.


What is the theme of the horror contest?

"You are in the darkest place in the world." (This theme can be interpreted literally or
figuratively.) We want writers who will submit their blood-curdlers, spine-tinglers,
skin-crawlers, and hair-raisers; writers who will make it their duty to scare and shock their
readers; writers who can really take us to the darkest place in the world.


What are the guidelines?

It’s all about fiction: flashes and shorts up to 10,000 words, written from any point of view.
Entries must be posted on the Inkitt contest page to be considered eligible.

The contest opens on February 2nd and closes on February 28th. The contest is completely
free to enter, and authors will retain all rights to any and all work submitted in the contest.


What are the prizes?



All entrants will have the chance to show their work to a growing community of authors and
readers hungry for high-quality fiction and win the following prizes:


  • 1st Prize $25 Amazon gift card, Inkitt custom mug, Inkitt custom notebook, custom cover design for the Inkitt story of their choice (created by Inkitt’s designer).
  • 2nd Prize $20 Amazon gift card, Inkitt custom mug, Inkitt custom notebook.
  • 3rd Prize Inkitt custom mug, Inkitt custom notebook.
