Something Or Other Publishing is delighted to announce the winners of the Curator’s Choice Awards and the semi-finalist of the 2nd Annual Short Story Contest, our flagship program to provide emerging authors with a unique opportunity to get started in the publishing industry.
SOOP rewards cash prizes when a category collects more than 25 qualified submissions (a heat), where our selected curators choose a winner from each and passes up to 3 entries on to the semi-finals to be reviewed by our independent panel of judges.
This year’s panel of curators included some of the historic names in our revolutionary platform: Eric Mondschein, Author of Life at 12 College Road; Wade Fransson, author of The People of The Sign; Alia Luria, award-winning author of the Sci-Fi series, The Artifacts of Lumin, and Eileen Maddocks, author of the trilogy, The Coming of The Glory.
The results of this year were fascinating, with a lot of quality, diverse writing styles, and distinctive narratives that make this group of writers an exciting generation of authors ready to conquer the world with their short tales.
We sincerely apologize for the unexpected delay in the announcement. Please stay tuned for the final contest results in the coming days.

Thank you so much for your participation, and don’t hesitate to test your talent one more time by submitting to our 3rd Annual Short Story Contest.
Just a little bit sad that my story “Adventures with grandma” didn’t make the semi-finalist cut.
But it was great to be part of this contest.
