NO ENTRY FEE
Nearly everyone has memories of a former sweetheart. Write your true story of an earlier love, in no more than 700 words. Tell us about someone whose memory brings a smile or a tear, or both:What feelings arise if you allow yourself to be fully open to remembering that person? What is it about that special someone that you still cherish? IN PARTICULAR, how did that person's presence in your life change you and how you experience the world? Your story may be heart-warming or humorous. Just tell about your earlier sweetheart as if you were talking to your best friend. First Prize: $100. Second Prize: $75. Third Prize: $50. Honorable Mention(s). Winning stories will be posted (anonymously, if requested by author) on this website. All winning stories, and those selected for honorable mention, will also be included in an upcoming anthology, to be published by Spruce Mountain Press, late fall of 2011. Please specify if you would prefer that your story NOT be included in this anthology OR posted on this website. This in no way affects your eligibility to win. Deadline August 17, 2011.
