This contest was a lot of fun and I’d like to thank all the entrants for their participating. It’s not easy to put your work out there for potential criticism. I do hope everyone enjoyed themselves and walked away, if not with a final or critique, with at the least, a very positive experience. With that said, here are the top three winners, their winning entries and their choice for the 25 page critique:
Grand Prize Winner – CORI OWENS-MENDEZ – Restitution

2nd Prize Winner – MELISSA SMITH – Christmas Eve Bride of Convenience

The contest was a lot of fun for me and I found because of the prompts we were given I was challenged a little which lead me to look in new directions for my writing. It was a great experience. Thanks to everyone who read the stories and took the time to offer constructive comments and big thanks to Beverley for hosting it!!!!
Congrats to the winners.
