As one of five shortlisting judges for a local creative writing competition (I'm not sure if I can say which one...), I've read a ton of unpublished short stories in the last few months.
It's exciting to know there are so many talented armature and emerging writers who's stories need only minor changes to be truly amazing.
Submit your stuff to publishers, people. You never know when you'll be picked up!

For all you Aussies, check out my post on the major Australian literary journals and magazines.
A bunch of other competitions are also currently accepting submissions. Some are free, while others charge a small reading fee. Many offer decent prize money, certificates of merit and/or publication opportunities.
I know I've said this cliche before, but...
You've gotta be in it to win it!
