Sticks & Stones
Congratulations to the longlist! These are the top twenty stories from our Sticks & Stones anthology contest that ran from July 1-September 30, 2024
Thank you to everyone who participated in our contest. Every single entry is worth celebrating and we are grateful to each writer who rose to the challenge and crafted a story along the theme of STICKS & STONES. Unfortunately, only twenty stories will move on to the next stage of the competition where they will be read in full by the judging panel and narrowed down to a shortlist of eight that will go on to be published in an anthology. One grand prize winner will be chosen by our special guest judge, E. YVONNE PELLETIER, and they will be awarded a cash prize of $312.
Congratulations to Nicole Berreth, Deborah Blenkhorn, Rose Camara, Tam Eastley, Joseph Garrett, Danielle Halliday, Desiree Kendrick, Lorette C Luzajic, Andrea Marcelino, Cornelia Mars, Krista May, E. J. Nash, Desiree Nippard, Nick Perry, Katrine Raymond, Tara Ross, Dennis Stein, Katarina Vuckovic, K. R. Wilson, and Ronald Zajac!
