Fortune and glory, kid?

We got your shot at it.

Well, mainly the glory part; less so the fortune. (In fact, really, no fortune at all.)

The 2012 Jersey Devil Press Novella Contest is still open, but the hours are ticking away. You’ve got about a dozen days left to get your amazing entry in to us, win pride of place in the coveted August Issue, and impress your friends, neighbors, and family members with your literary acumen.

Also, Scarlett Johansson.

Look, we’re not making any promises, but we have it on reasonably reliable authority that she seriously digs novella writers. (Male or female.) And she’s single again. (We think.) And they let her keep the S.H.I.E.L.D. catsuit from The Avengers for personal use. (Supposedly.)*

So win August!

Win the dubious and illusory promise of a date with ScarJo in-character as Black Widow!

Win the JDP Novella Contest!

But first make sure you read the rules.

(And maybe an issue of JDP.)

Then take your best shot and submit.
