FRIDAY NOTES & NEWS: Call for Entries — Halloween Week 2024 Scary Story Contest Is Open

The Submission Window to enter our Halloween Week 2024 scary story contest starts today Monday, Sept. 30 and runs to Oct. 21. We are looking for horror stories, creepy stories or Halloween-themed stories — not stories that just happen to be set around Halloween. Please no poetry. The top five will be posted on CommuterLit the week of Oct. 28 – Nov. 1, 2024. The maximum word-count for entries is 4,000 words. You can enter more than once, but please submit only one story per entry. 

The Top Five will receive cash prizes:

First-place: CA$100
Second-place: CA$50
