Are you a science fiction writer looking to get published? There are many thousands of people in your shoes and the catch is, it is very difficult to get your stories even read by editors if you have not yet been in print. To quote the great Joseph Heller, it is a catch 22.

One of the things you can do right now to help yourself get published is to enter as many legitimate contests as you can. A "win" will help you get noticed and the cool thing about Science Fiction Contest Quarterly is that the winning entries will be published in a quarterly ebook. In addition to that, every entry to the contest will recieve a valuable critique of the work.
