This month's contest will be hosted by Jen, and your challenge is to write a story inspired by the theme, "**The Devil You Know.**" That devil could be your evil boss, your annoying neighbor, that ex you just can't quit, or Satan himself...

Like the August contest, this month's entries are eligible for publication in the October issues of *[Caveat Lector](https://caveatlector42.substack.com/)*, a Substack platform hosted by one of our members (Thomas Brown, a/k/a Jared)--so if you're entering, you've got a shot at publication in this venue! If you'd like to enter but you're hesitant about posting your work online, you can opt out of that part (or you can publish anonymously or under a pen name)!

Length: 2,500 words or less
Genre: Any!
Due date: 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, September 23rd.

To submit your entry, email it to brian@dublincreativewriters.com. Please do NOT include your name anywhere in your document.

Each story published on *Caveat Lector* is paired with an image and a song, so feel free to include those as well if you're inspired (but that is by no means required)!

Join the contest session on Thursday, September 25th, to hear Jen's feedback on each piece.

Hosting a contest is easy and really fun! Interested? [Sign up here](https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0b4baeae2ea3fb6-monthly3#/) (and email Jen with any questions).
