Hey folks, I just got some nice news I wanted to share.
Over the summer I sent out a couple of my essays to a writing contest sponsored by the Southern Illinois Writers Guild and John Logan College.
To my great surprise, the 2 blind submissions I sent took both first AND second place as best creative nonfiction.
"What Counts" took first place.
"Black Gold" won second.
Both will appear in their annual anthology as well as in my upcoming thesis!
The contest is a nationwide competition, and for me it's a rare victory, since I don't send much of my stuff out. Good to win the 2 cash prizes, but more than that it feels nice to be acknowledged.
