I’m very proud to have judged the fiction section of the Indiana University Southeast Writing Contest this year. My friend Steve Bowman, who teaches there, recommended me as one of the contest judges, and I had a great time reading the submissions.
My congratulations to all the young writers who sent in such good short fiction, but special nods to S. Asher Taylor (1st place for “The Arrival”), Glynnis Bernier-Clarke (2nd place for “The Forecast”), Andy Smith (3rd place for “Carnivores”), and John Templeton (Honorable Mention for “Knock”). These are writers to keep an eye out, for, gang — I’d wager you’ll be seeing their names in literary magazines one of these days.
