Eligibility:
We welcome ladies aged one to one hundred to share their story.
How it works:
No longer than 1200 words, your narrative should be emotionally moving and tangible with descriptive imagery readers can relate to via sight, sound, smell, touch and taste. Focusing on a single incident is recommended to share how your father’s character, personality, and/or actions (in-actions) influenced your development. Your submission must be an original work, as well as not previously published.
Please read the Official Rules before submitting.
Email daughterstory@gmail.com your full name, address, daytime phone number, and e-mail address. Your story MUST be submitted as a .doc attachment, or in the body of the email, double-spaced in 12pt. font, Times New Roman. Any other format will not be read.
In the subject line include your year of birth and a one-word theme for your narrative. Also include a bio—a short paragraph (of about 50 words or less) about you, promoting your latest book, project, etc.
Deadlines:
Narratives will be accepted beginning September 15, 2009. All entries must be received by January 15, 2010. Only one entry per person allowed.
