VIP Author News: Laurel Wilczek is Grand Prize Winner in Thanksgiving Flash Fiction Contest

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Kudos to Laurel Wilczek, Grand Prize Winner of the inaugural Feast of Flash Thanksgiving Contest on the Not from here, are you? blog  with her story, Thanksgiving Day Pies. Laurel has chosen The Salvation Army of East Stroudsburg, PA to receive a $100.00 donation in her name. Her story was published on the blog on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, and you can read it here.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Laurel had this to say:

“I think this is a good example of how to pursue the community spirit that you  mentioned in [the Class to Ca$h] class. I’ve always liked the idea of giving back to the community, but your class helped me step out and actually do it. In taking your advice to heart, I’ve been able to help 14 teen writers in a six week prep/write for the National Novel Writing Month. And now, I’ve been able to help families right in my own backyard!

It’s a fantastic feeling. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. –Laurel”

Congratulations, Laurel, and thank you for sharing your inspirational work with all VIP Authors!
