Short Story Contests
This is where the information will be for the short story contests run by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews
April 1 to June 30 2024
Winners
Congratulations to the winners of the Short Story Contest that was held from April to June 30. I received several entries, unfortunately, not enough to meet the requirements for an anthology. But that also means the authors can publish their stories if they wish, without having to worry about it being already published.
