Bill Mueller Did What? Again? And a Random Quote

Yep, Coffee and Critique's own W. E. (Bill) Mueller has done it again. Won another big award, that is.

His short story "Incident at Turtle Mountain" took home first place in the Chesterfield Arts 2013 Jade G. Bute Adult Writing Contest, Prose Division. 

Winners were announced on May 6.

Entries were judged by Richard Newman, editor of River Styx.

Congratulations, Bill. You always make us proud!

Here's a quote from last week's Coffee and Critique:

 

"The fiction part is true." The statement was amended to, "The science part is true."

OWFI Conference and River Styx Poetry Contest

I'm off to the Oklahoma Writers Federation Conference, so I may not get to post tomorrow.

Don't forget the deadline for the 2008 River Styx Poetry Contest is May 31, 2008. It has a large entry fee, but it's a well-respected contest and a correspondingly large prize.

From the website (bold is mine):

"A prize of $1,500 and publication in River Styx is given annually for a group of poems. All entries will be considered for publication. Submit up to three poems totaling no more than 14 pages with a $20 entry fee, which includes a one-year subscription to River Styx, by May 31, 2008.

Include name and address on cover letter only.
