The winning short stories have been announced in the Warren Adler on-line writing competition. The theme this year was New York. You can read the outstanding stories at
http://www.warrenadler.com/contest07.shtml and vote on which one you like the best. It will be awarded the People's Choice.
Part of what Warren had to say to those whose stories were rejected:
I had to choose only one winner and four runner ups. It will be interesting to see how other readers will judge these stories in our People's Choice contest. Until our new contest is announced shortly, I wish all contestants the best of luck in their writing. In my view there is no more fulfilling calling than the life of the creative writer and no more skillful exercise in craft and talent than the short story. It is my fervent hope that this medium will once again attain the heights and interest it deserves. And remember: What seems like a rejection is merely one person's opinion and it is often a poor indication of future success.
