Congratulations everyone!
Congratulations to everyone! We know the big winners are really good… so we should read them. For anyone who is planning to enter the contest for the first time (like me), I think we should also read a couple stories from the ‘Honorables.’ Would that be possible?
Hi Urell,
Would be happy to share my 4th Quarter Honorable Mention–was surprised as I have only started to submit short stories, although I have worked for some time on several.
Please email me [email protected] and mention the contest in your subject line so that I can remember where you came from.
Best wishes – Erik
Honored to be among the finalists. Best wishes to all participants as they pursue their writing adventures!
