Contests
Zoetrope: All-Story sponsors an annual writing contest for short fiction. The contest has been judged by writers Joyce Carol Oates, Colum McCann[3] Mary Gaitskill and Tommy Orange.[4] The winner and finalists' stories are forwarded to leading literary agencies. The winning story is often published in an online supplement to the magazine.

Zoetrope: All-Story also runs year-round online workshops through a partnership with Gotham Writers Workshop.
