Summer Contest Winners Announced
SFW Members Only Annual Short Story
Competition Winners Announced!
Each year the Sarasota Fiction Writers conducts a series of writing workshops during the summer. The workshops are designed to help writers focus on specific areas of writing, such as creating dynamic characters, or an interesting setting, or a mood, etc.
This year our workshops focused on the archetype character. In conjunction with the workshops, the club also sponsors a writing contest for the members. Information learned from attending the current year’s or earlier workshops is then put to practical use in the form of a short story. This year’s contest guideline was to 1.) create a story that involved a “Road Trip,” and to 2.) maintain a word count of no more than 1750 words. Several entries were submitted, which were professionally judged by a nationally recognized award winning author.
For those members who were unable to attend this year’s Christmas party, the winners of the 2007 Members Only Short Story contest are:
