Deadline: 20 August 2012
We’re looking for stories that capture a personal moment in time, whether happy or sad, that hold a message for the reader. You don’t need to have had a trauma to write your story, but you do need to deal with situations that touch the heart, situations that make others say, If that happened to me how would I react? Don’t hold back. Give free reign to your emotions

However, after the contest that an author enters is finished and the winners announced, the author may request first publication or simultaneous publication rights from JewishStoryWriting.com. In all events, the author retains copyright at all times. Multiple submissions accepted.
