Wildfire Words service to creative writing

Wildfire words is a not-for-profit ezine offering creative writers opportunities to share their voices around the world. We do this through:
- About 8 free-to-enter themed submission windows per year, on specific broad topics, or using one poetic form. Submitting writing is curated by published writers, and generally at least half of the text and audio entered is published.
- Two free-to-enter open submission windows per year, one in winter and one in summer. Writers can submit on any subject and almost any format. Generally about half of the submissions are published.
- An annual single-poem competition on a timely theme, with cash prizes for winners, plus publication for prizewinners and all commended poets.
- An annual flash-fiction competition on a timely theme, with cash prizes for winners, plus publication for prizewinners and all commended writers.
- An annual contest to win publication of an online audio book with cash prizes for winners.
- All published writers are offered a free Zoom event, like an open mic, when they can record a reading of their work to be published alongside its text. Alternatively, they can submit their own recording with their writing or after publication. Adding audio alongside text is a hallmark of wildfire words.
