It was my first accepted short story for publication. It also received an honorable mention in the prestigious Writers of the Future contest [Volume 40, Q2] and took first place in Southeastern Writers Association’s 2023 The Vega Award for Speculative Fiction.

I had been submitting short stories to markets for a couple of years and was used to receiving form rejections and a sprinkling of personals so this was a huge boon to my confidence. So to my writer friends, keep at it and consider spending time to find markets that suit your submission [and don’t worry about how much money you will receive].

It all begins with an idea.
