WINNING STORIES

Curious about the winners and their stories?
Pick up a copy of the 2017 Redwood Writers Anthology
No Contest: A Decade of Contest-Winning Stories from Redwood Writers at the monthly meetings or from Amazon.

In the words of one contest judge, there really was “no contest.” These stories won because they demand to be read. No Contest is a collection of ten years of contest-winning stories, from members of the Redwood Branch of the California Writers Club. The stories are flash and short fiction, nonfiction, and memoir. The collection includes crime, mystery, murder, love and loss. There are tales of science fiction and steampunk. Stories of family and childhood.

Watch for more writing contests!

(Specific details will be announced throughout the year.)
