News From... The Writer Magazine Imagine Twists, turns, double meanings and double lives. These are some of the
recurring themes for our Two Roads Diverge contest. Guest judge Colum
McCann chose the three winners and an honorable mention. We are happy to
announce them here. Read the winning story in our March issue, on newsstands February 9, and read all three on writermag.com in January. FIRST PLACE Caroline Bock and her submission "Gargoyles and Stars" introduces us to the cheerful and humorous Lydia, on the hunt in New York City for her parked car. Despite many vibrant memories, her loyalty to the past is trumped only by the fact that it doesn’t exist in the present except in her imagi nation. Guest judge Colum McCann noted Bock's style, saying, "It’s a brave story with many different strands nicely helixed together." A young adult novelist, Bock has published poetry and short stories with F(r)iction, Ploughshares and Prometheus. Her poetry has been nominated for a 2016 Pushcart Prize. She currently lives in Maryland, where she works as freelance bookseller. The Best Holiday Present ever! Here's to a 2016 filled with inspiration and creativity for us all! Caroline |
