#SOOP on Monday: Top 30 Short Story & Book Ideas for July

 

Welcome to a literary celebration like no other!

 

We are delighted to showcase the most exceptional story ideas of the month, curated through our Annual Short Story Contest, Anthology, and Book Idea Programs. These writers have captured our imaginations and demonstrated remarkable perseverance by rallying votes from their readers.

 

We understand that the voting qualification process can be demanding. For those who wish to participate without the voting aspect, we invite you to explore our contest fee option. This avenue allows you to streamline the qualification process and showcase your work to a broader audience without needing votes. Remember that the qualification deadline has been extended until September 15th, giving you ample time to get your stories to the finish line. 

 

At Something Or Other Publishing, we believe in fostering a supportive community where writers can thrive. Whether you’ve conquered the voting process or chosen the contest fee option, your journey is a testament to your dedication and passion for storytelling. We’re honored to be a part of your literary adventure and eagerly await the narratives you’ll craft in the future.

 

Join us in applauding their dedication and creativity as we present the Top 30 Story Ideas that have left an indelible mark on our literary landscape.
