This is the email I got yesterday, a lovely surprise since I had almost forgotten that I had submitted the story.firstwriter is an online journal on a website that lists nearly every opportunity for writers and includes its own contests. Through the information they've supplied I've submitted (and published) about 14 stories including several previous first place wins and runners up in their contests. CHECK IT OUT!
Dear Joanne Weck,
I'm pleased to let you know that your entry, The Killer's Kid, has been chosen as one of ten Special Commendations in our Ninth International Short Story Contest. Your name is currently listed in the previous winners section at http://www.firstwriter.com/competitions/poetry_competition/previous_winners.shtml (follow the link for the Ninth International Short Story Contest), and your work will be published in a future issue of firstwriter.magazine. At the time of publication, you will be sent a voucher which will allow you to take out an annual subscription to firstwriter.com for free -- or, if you are already a subscriber, you will be offered competition entries up to the same value.
Congratulations, and thank you for entering our competition.
Kind regards,
J. Paul Dyson
Managing Editor
