Our Defying Moments contest will soon be drawing to a close . . . but do not go gently into that good night!  Send your stories, essays, poems, creative nonfiction (but no non-creative fiction, please!) of every genre to monika@awordwithyoupress.com.  Our contest ends Tuesday, June 15 – so it’s not too late to let loose with whatever your imagination dares to invent.  But don’t stop at one entry – you can send us up to three, based on any of the following topics:

1)  They Day I Left (Home?  Him or Her?  The Motor Running?)

2)  If Only You (He, She, They) Knew…

3)  I Had to Quit the Job

4)  My Most Spectacular Failure (or Success)

5)  I’d Almost Forgotten

6)  My Volkswagen Escapade

7)  The Second Time We Kissed

The top five entries get a $20 Barnes & Noble gift certificate, and a signed copy of Thornton Sully’s novel, The Boy with a Torn Hat.
