Submit a single short story that centers around a single object or addresses the theme “Objects of Desire.” If objects could talk, what stories they would tell? Historical, religious, beloved, passed along, cast aside — every object tells a story. The winning submission, selected by Maile Meloy, will be read as part of the Selected Shorts performance at Symphony Space on June 6, 2012. The story will be recorded for possible later broadcast as part of the public radio series. The winner will also receive $1000 and a free 10-week creative writing class with Gotham Writers’ Workshop. The entry fee is $25.
