By: Tyler Peterson
Lucky Penny Productions announces its first annual "Lucky Shorts" original short story festival. Submissions are now being accepted under the follow guidelines:
- Stories must relate to the theme of change/growth in the broadest sense. Personal growth fits the theme, as do changes wrought by an altered relationship, new car, different job or travel. Humor is always welcome.
- Writers must reside in Napa, Sonoma, or Solano Counties.
- There is no entry fee.
- Entries are limited to original work, previously unpublished, which can be read in 10 or fewer minutes.
- Entries must be double spaced, in at least 12 pt. size font.
- Stories must be typed/word-processed, pages numbered, and stapled. Do not use binders or covers.
- Name of author must not appear on manuscript. Submit 1 copy of story, include a cover sheet with title of your story, your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
- Submission implies consent to have your story read at Lucky Penny Productions on June 12, 2016. Authors retain all rights to their work for future production or publication.
- Entries must be postmarked by April 15, 2016.
- Authors of chosen stories will be notified by May 23, 2016.
- Stories cannot be returned. Lucky Penny Productions assumes no responsibility for lost or damaged submissions.
