Three-minute fiction: writing competition

Three-Minute Fiction: Send Us Your Stories : NPR.

"James Wood, literary critic for The New Yorker and author of the book How Fiction Works, will serve as NPR's "Three-Minute Fiction" guide. Wood will appear on-air throughout the summer to read his favorite submissions, and we'll also post them here on NPR.org."
