Everyone’s a Winner!*

Participant RibbonA (very) short story of mine was recently selected to be part of a collection at the online Marco Polo Arts Mag. The collection is calledĀ 100X100 and features 100 stories, each exactly 100 words long. On the hopefully completely non-ordered list of finalists, mine was number 97. The actual winner, Vincent Fino’s “Mother’s Day Retreat,” is up now at theĀ 100X100 page. I’ll let you know when my story goes live, but keep an eye on that page regardless. After all, any writing in the company of mine is sure to be amazing, right?

*Okay, it looks like more like one in five is a winner, since there were “close to five hundred international submissions.” Actually that’s not bad, huh?
