Sharing Stories 2021

Watch for more Sharing Stories event in the future.

You wrote Stories!

Sharing Stories, 2021, was slow getting going. There were a few eager writers who submitted stories right away. Then there was a scary lull, during which we feared the event might fall on its face. We sent out encouraging messages to our membership and extended the deadline to November 1. Then the stories started to tumble into our inboxes. Sharing Stories, 2021, ended up with so many fascinating stories that it was truly difficult to select only six. All the stories will be available for you to read on our website after November 20, when you will hear the six winners read their stories.
