Awards my stories received from the Writers of the Future contest
I attended the 25th Anniversary awards for the Writers and Illustrators of the Future Contest on August 29th with a writing friend. It’s the third year in a row I have attended, and this one was the best–by far. What was really cool (this time) was that I knew two of the 1st place winners from the…
– Brennan Harvey My story, “The Grieftakers” received an Honorable Mention in the 2nd Quarter of the Writers of the Future Contest. – Brennan Harvey
The 24th Annual L. Ron Hubbard Achievement Awards for the Writers and Illustrators of the Future Contests was not as large as last year. It was held in a meeting room at Author Services, unlike last year when it was held outside at Cal Tech. There was no air conditioning at either place, though. I…
“The Song of Maska,” my entry into the 1st quarter 2008 Writers of the Future Contest, received an honorable mention. Here is the announcement. I actually got to talk to Joni Labaqui this time, and that was a real pleasure. Unfortunately, I have been working on my novel, EVE320, and have not been able to…
I guess my complaining has changed things over at the Writers of the Future Contest. I was trying to find out where “Honorable Mentions” would be mentioned, and they decided to post them on the blog. Here is my announcement. I have to admit, I was getting a little frustrated with WOTF’s treatment of non-winners,…
I put another story into the mail for the Writers of the Future Contest. I must be getting old. I included the SASE envelope, but forgot to put the S on the E. Duh! Anyway, I remedied that before it went out. Wish me luck. – Brennan Harvey
I just got my rejection letter for “Bravo Tunnel” from the Writers of the Future Contest. Apparently, they are no longer calling “Quarter-finalists” by that name. Instead, you receive an “Honorable Mention.” I wonder where I will be mentioned so honorably! I saw on the WOTF Forum that they did this because there was some…
No finalist award for my novelette, “Bravo Tunnel” in the 4th Quarter WOTF contest. The link to the finalists is here. I have not received word on how I’ve placed yet. I can at least hope that I made it to the quarter-finalist level again. Keep watching for more information. – Brennan Harvey
My story arrived and was entered in the WOTF for the 4th quarter. They say results will be available in mid-December. This one has me a little torn. If I place in this quarter, I can attend the ceremonies for the 24th Annual Awards Ceremony next year. However, the 25th Annual Awards is planned to…
The 23rd Annual L. Ron Hubbard Achievement Awards was an interesting event. It was held at the Caltech Athenaeum, right under the temporary home where Albert Einstein stayed while he was there! Anyway, it’s always fun to get dressed up and play adult. I was excited for the winners, but depressed knowing that they made it and…
