Greetings, Women Writing the West members.
The LAURA Short Fiction Award will open for member entries on March 1. The entry fee has been lowered to $15.00 and the first-place cash award has increased to $125.00, all with the hope many of you will enter.
Screeners and this year’s judge are ready to read and enjoy your entry. The contest is open from March 1 to April 30, 2024, giving you a lot of time to polish, re-write, or even write from “scratch” your short story. Complete guidelines are on the WWW website,
If you haven’t yet signed up for the WWW email groups forum, I encourage you to do so. There is always lots of information about The LAURA and other award programs, as well as writing advice, resources, and news. Log into your member account and click on the link marked “Email Group.” Please consider following us on Facebook and Instagram. The WWW Blog is also a great resource.
Good luck to all.
