A Six Word Wonder is a story, memoir, poem, or joke, told in only six words. Write a tiny bite-sized story in exactly six words. The winner is crowned the Six Word Wonder, receives a $100 prize, and is published in an anthology of six word stories.

The ambition of the contest is to encourage everyone to experiment with the six word format, and hopefully discover fresh new stories, poems, memoirs, and jokes.

Entry is free. All entries will be credited to you if shared or published in future.

Shortlisted stories will also win the chance to be published in a future Six Word Wonder series book.
