The Warren Adler 2009 Short Story Contest

The Warren Adler Short Story Contest

2007 Contest Theme: New York City

The Second Annual Warren Adler Short Story Contest, in an endeavor to publicize and promote the art of the fictional short story and restore its place as a prime literary format, has captured the essence of New York in this year's contest winners!

The first prize winner, announced in conjunction with the publication of Warren Adler’s latest short story collection New York Echoes, is awarded $1,000; all five finalists will also be awarded personalized first editions of Mr. Adler’s collection.

As a bonus, the story judged best by Mr. Adler, along with a People’s Choice award chosen from among the finalists via online reader vote, will be published and available for sale on Amazon.com. All five finalist stories will be featured via “live” readings on Amazon’s Theater on Second Life.

This year's $1,000 first prize winning story will be announced, along with the People's Choice winner on March 11, 2008.

Here are the five finalists. Congratulations to Hal Ackerman for the top prize and Fiona Walsh for the People's Choice award.
