Live Reading for Winners: June, 2014. Exact date TBA, but regardless it WILL be on a Saturday. Most likely, the third Saturday of the month.


NOTE: anyone who competes must attend the reading in June to present their work and claim their cash prize. If you do not attend, the attending winners will be re-arranged to fill your space.
