Although this anthology of winning stories from the annual Tom Howard Short Story, Essay and Prose Contest, was first published back in 2006, the usefulness of this collection has increased considerably. Entries for the contest have doubled in the past two years and now exceed over 2,000. It is more essential than ever for potential contestants to gain some idea of the plot themes and writing styles that are most likely to appeal to the judges -- who are the same now as they were in 2005, namely anthology editor John Howard Reid and Professor D.C. Konrad. Reid himself has contributed a First Prize-winning work (in another contest, of course) to this anthology, and there are 14 Tom Howard winners, not only from well-known authors like Fred McGavran, Laurie Gough and Debbie Camelin, but first-time winners as well. - Marianne Nixon
