I am happy to announce that my short story, “The Count,” has just been awarded Nonfiction Honorable Mention for Joy of the Pen 2024! This is a Maine-based writing competition held by Topsham Public Library, sponsored by several local organizations.
I am honored to have placed in this journal. Many incredible writers call Maine home, and the Joy of the Pen publishes excellent work every year. For these reasons, putting my work out into this community feels extra special. I am thankful to the coordinators and judges who worked hard to put this competition together.
I believe that the Joy of the Pen’s winning stories will be made available in the next week, and I will attach a link to my piece when possible.
