Happy Friday!
This top 20 presents a moment to reflect on the experience of SOOP’s Annual Short Story Contest.
With the qualification period over, we commit to improving our primary vehicle to support the craft of storytelling. We also want to celebrate your willingness to share your narratives with our community, making this contest a great year. Each submission has added depth and diversity to the competition, making it a true celebration of creativity.
As we approach the final stages of the contest, we have some vital information for your consideration.
We invite you to contact us if you are shy of the votes required to qualify this year. We want to understand your SOOP experience in more detail and are open to considering extraordinary exceptions related to confusion or misunderstanding. Your voice matters to us, and we want to ensure that deserving narratives receive the recognition they deserve. Don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected] with the subject “Reconsider My Submission” if you believe your story deserves an exceptional chance to qualify.
Navigating the world of writing contests and qualification processes can sometimes be daunting. If you have any questions or uncertainties about how the SOOP model and the voting process work, we are here to help. Understanding the benefits of SOOP’s crowdsourcing model is crucial to building your author career, and we are more than willing to provide clarity and guidance wherever needed.
We constantly emphasize that SOOP is not just a contest; it’s a community of passionate writers and readers. We encourage you to engage with fellow participants, share your experiences, and support one another. Writing can be a solitary endeavor, but it’s in these connections that we find the strength and inspiration to continue creating.
