With a week and a half until voting ends for this year's Million Writers Award, we have a four way horse-race. The leading stories are:
- "No Bullets in the House" by Geronimo Madrid (Drunken Boat) 14%
- "Fuckbuddy" by Roderic Crooks (Eyeshot) 17%
- "The Fisherman's Wife" by Jenny Williams (LitNImage) 16%
- "Interview With A Moron" by Elizabeth Stuckey-French (Narrative Magazine) 16%
In my six years of running this award, I have never seen such a narrow margin among the leading contenders. Remember, voting closes at 11:59 p.m. on June 17, so go read the stories and cast your vote--but only one vote, because duplicate votes will be removed!
Thanks to the generosity of numerous donors, this year's award features the following monetary prizes:
- Overall winner: $500
- Runner-up: $200
- Honorable mention (third place): $100
