We are looking for true stories of people living in small towns and villages across America. Every day people in small towns confront life's biggest issues with humor, grace and more than a little down home wisdom. Stories should be told in creative non-fiction format. Writers of creative non-fiction use the techniques artfully employed in fiction to relate a true story or memoir. Think strong characters, realistic scenes and correct point of view.
$200 First Prize - $125 Second Prize - $75 Third Prize.
Entry must not exceed 10,000 words. Entry must be written in English.
Deadline December 1, 2009.
