2010 William Richey Short Fiction Winners!

It was a long, difficult, and lonesome process for guest judge David Bajo, but he has finally emerged unscathed with the winner, runners up, and finalists for the 2010 William Richey Short Fiction Contest. The contest brought in a record number of submissions and we were truly pleasantly surprised by the sheer volume of strong work. Thanks to everyone who entered the contest, and we hope to see more of your work throughout the year and in next year's contest.
