Cozy Writing Contest

Grab your big comfy blankets and curl up by the fire, because it’s time to get cozy! For this contest, Four Tulips is looking for short prose and poetry with themes of warmth and comfort. Wining pieces will have rich imagery and be best served with some hot cocoa on a cold winter’s night.

The Cozy Writing Contest is accepting submissions until November 30th.

The winner and finalists will be published in the online magazine and in a Four Tulips print anthology.

Submission Guidelines

Prose: Submit no more than one prose piece at a time. Prose formatting should be single-spaced and no longer than 2,000 words. Submit as Microsoft Word or PDF.

Poetry: Submit no more than three poems at a time. Poems should be formatted single-spaced as a Microsoft Word or a PDF file.

Include your full name, the title of your submission, your email address, and a short 100-word bio. We do not accept submissions previously published in other publications including those that have been self-published. We do, however, accept submissions previously published on personal blogs.
