I am so excited to share the news that I have been awarded runner-up of Lit Youngstown’s Short Short Fiction Open Contest for the 2019 Fall Literary Festival. Lit Youngstown has a special place in my heart and it is such an honor to have been awarded second place. I know there were so many talented writers who submitted their well-crafted stories and I can’t wait to hear some of them at the Fall Literary Festival. The winner of the Open Contest is Marlene H. Mikan with her story titled “The Rickshaw Ride”. If you are in the area, please come to the 2nd Floor Lounge at the Hilton DoubleTree in Downtown Youngstown on Saturday, October 5th at 7:00pm for a reading which is free and open to the public. Not only will I be reading as a finalist of the contest, but the contest winner, and keynote speaker, George Ella Lyon, will be speaking as well. It is sure to be a wonderful evening!
Congratulations!
