Sadly, for reasons beyond our control, we will be closing our David B. Saunders Non-Fiction Contest.  All submissions received before today will still be considered for publication and all entry fees will be returned.  Please do not send any further submissions to the contest—we’ll be sad and will return them unread.

If you have any questions, please email us at info[at]creamcityreview.org.

Remember, you can apply the idea of constraints to the content or the form of your work: constrain your characters, constrain yourself, write a story about being limited by your body, by finances, by unbreachable borders. Or write a poem in which every line MUST begin with “I can not…” Tie your hands together as you write, limit by number of words or number of syllables. There are no constraints on how to interpret “constraints…”
