The Second Annual Warren Adler Short

publicize and promote the art of the
fictional short story and restore
its place as a prime literary

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
