It is my pleasure to announce the winners of the BIRTH theme for the Accentuate Writers Short Story Contest.

These writers will receive the prizes listed for winning the contest, including cash prizes of $100, $75, and $25 for each placement – and they will also be included in the anthology and will receive a royalty contract for their percentage of participation in the final book. While all authors will be included as the official authors on the legal and promotional pages, only first place finishers will get their name listed on the gorgeous covers we’re using on this series of books.

Competition is getting harder and harder to judge, with new writers we’ve only just met entering this time around, and our veteran forum members improving more and more with each story they submit. The quality of some of these stories is just unreal; that is, they are good, solid stories. I’m impressed.

So let’s get on with the BIRTH theme winners – today, we have two third places, one second and one first place. Read the rest of this entry »
