Literati. As most of you know, when we have a substantial cash prize, it is usually won by me under an assumed name (honoring a family tradition that I will perhaps share with you one day). But that is all in the past! To prove the authenticity of our contests, I asked Sal Buttaci to send a picture one his trophy arrived!
“Time has stood still! And my “Again” trophy is the most accurate clock in the world! It is exactly correct twice a day!”

Thornton Sully has Jack Londoned his way across the globe sleeping with whatever country would have him, and picking up stray stories along the way. A litter of dog-eared passports that have taken up residence in his sock drawer are a constant temptation, but, as the founder in 2009 of A Word with You Press, dedicated to helping you tell your story persuasively and with passion, it’s not likely he will stray too far from the towers that are A Word with You Press, now located in the Bohemian village of Ceske Budejovice in the Czech Republic, except, perhaps, for an occassional swim in the Aegaen. Authors who have sought his advice have won major awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the Isabel Allende Miraposa Award for new fiction, and the Best Poetry Award from San Diego Writers’ Awards.
“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” Thornton Sully, plagiarizing E.B. White
