I am happy to announce the seventh annual Short Story Contest. The first six years were full of surprises, and great stories. Volume 3, 4 & 5 were distributed to over 1,000 Texas Libraries for FREE as part of the DEAR Texas Literacy Program that supports Title 1 schools and libraries.
This exciting annual contest is open to any Texas Author that has a short story to tell. Great prizes are given to the top three winners of each genre, including printed copies of the anthology, memberships, and cash prizes.
