Good evening from the Towers that were once a scant 30 miles from this very cove, before relocating to the land of the double-entundra, Moscow, Idaho! We have a few more entries to post; after this, I believe one from Parisianne Modert, Barbara Keeling still remain. If you have not seen your story posted, please […]
(here one of the Satikushes–the guard-cats at The Towers that are A Word with You Press-invites a tummy rub) Literati! Laura Girardeau has an entry into our contest Once upon a Time in which apparently she takes great pride! And well she should. Lions are the king of beasts, and the beasts of kings. Laura’s […]
…makes no difference, who you are. Your dreams come true. Literati! Writers are a very solitary lot. Tis the blessing and the curse. Here we have a short prologue to a story by Kristine Starr, and, as is often the case with other entries that flirt with the dark side, we are hoping it is […]
(these portals for mortals may look like endless possibilities for those who read…BUT!!! For those who write? Endless knock-knock jokes) Literati! We have a few more entries remaining in our contest in which each contestant has been required to submit the prologue to the novel they are telling everyone that they are writing. Semi-finalists, to […]
(one of our interns at the towers that are A Word with You Press. That is not a cigarette holder; it’s a smoke editor) Literati! Here is a most unusual entry into our contest Once Upon a Time. Madam Parisianne Modert’s entry could be a stand-alone story, or a vignette ( “a small, graceful literary sketch” […]
(cover art by the author, Shawna Smart) Literati! We (moi, actually) still have a few more entries to post that were received before out June-first deadline. The diabolical plan has been to tickle out the prologue of the story you had intended to write, and, with the pump being primed, continue writing until you completed a […]
tags Literati! Our own Tiffany Monique has entered our contest, Once upon a Time, but to what end? She is ineligible to win the money and she has already won the love and respect of the staff and readership. These are unanswered questions…O!… Wait! UNTITLED STORIES and UNANSWERED QUESTIONS by Tiffany Monique If my life […]
(Here Billy Holder, our IT guru, conducts a search at A Word with You Press) Literati! We have about four more entries yet to post in our contest Once Upon a Time, which, yes, should all have been published by the first of June. I saw a spike in the number of people who tuned […]
(Intern at A Word with You Press setting a new wreckord) Literati, Now that we have successfully funded publication for Fred Rivera’s Raw Man, we can get back to business as unusual; in this case, posting our final entries to our contest: Once Upon a Time. Each entry is the prologue to the novel you […]
(Who newt?) Literati! We have a newt-comer to our contest! First time on what Peggy Dobbs referred to as our playground! Let’s welcome Connie Nguyen, invited here by Stefani Allison. Connie has the prologue for a futuristic story. Some of you may be offended by the use of the “F” word, but we are […]
(this is the look on my face when I discovered that we only have 18 days left before the next phase of our contest) Literati! It is comforting to know that even in the world of the future, be it science fiction or reality TV, that some metaphors are simply irreplaceable. London fog (not the […]
