The Summer Lovin’ Short Story Contest results are in. After one set of judges narrowed the field down to 8 finalists, a second panel of judges scored the stories to decide the final ranking. It was tough and in some cases a mere handful of points made the difference between one place and the next.
Just as a reminder, the top placing story and writer wins
- US$150
- Professional editing of entry
- Blog tour inclusion
- Priority submission of a longer work
- Four copies of published anthology
Three Runners up win
- US$100
- Professional editing of entry
- Publication in the anthology
- Two copies of published anthology
And the remaining of the 8 finalists receive professional constructive criticism of their submissions.
And the winners are:
First Prize: Abigail Bok
Runners Up: Natalie Richards, Sundee M Miles, and Morgan K Wyatt
Honorable Mention: Maureen Lee Lenker, Julia Daniels, Sarah Ozcandarli, and Jacqueline Seewald
Congratulations to you all for making the top 8.
The top four winners will join award-winning and popular authors KaraLynne Mackrory, Karen M Cox, Linda Beutler, and J Marie Croft in the Sun-Kissed summer anthology.

Congratulations to everyone! I look forward to reading the work of all 8 of the contest finalists in future, now that their names are famous. I’m also stoked for the final “Sun-Kissed” stories and cover–Christina and Zuki are amazing!

Yay, Abigail! Congrats to the others as well. I already have my finger poised to ‘buy with one click’. This is another reason to look forward to summer.
