Winning Short Story: Together and Separate by Herb Schultz
Siamese twins resigned to lifelong existence in each others company unexpectedly separate after a car accident.
Winning Short Story: Held Up by Bree Katz
Don’t worry about how much your first draft is going to suck. Just get the words out there. Editing is a special hell all its own, but once you reach that stage, you’re partway through. If you obsess over making the story perfect before you even sit down to write it, you’ll never get started.
Winning Short Story: This Pond is too Crowded by Stacey R. Janik
My advice might sound cliche but write what you know and write from your heart and never let anyone tell you you can’t do something.
Winning Short Story: MR “NAUGHTY” BECOMES MR “NICE” by Laura Anne Ewald
This started as a children’s story about a “book nerd” kid—based on an experience I once had back in seventh grade when, yes, I made the mistake of reading Lad: A Dog on a Friday afternoon during reading hour in Mr. Swanson’s Social Studies class. The story is looking more and more like a romance the more I think about it, though. I may leave it in the children’s age group, but I think kids can learn a lot about human nature, nurturing, and love by watching the way grownups behave toward one another.
Winning Short Story: MY ROAMEO, WHERE ART THOU MY ROAMEO by Michelle Assor
My story is about a woman in the midst of a marriage crisis and a pending divorce. While walking her dog one morning, she receives an eerie phone call from a family member who reluctantly discloses that her husband is dead.
