QUICK SUMMARY OF Call for PERSONAL STORies - spring 2025
Here is the theme for the spring 2025 Personal Story Publishing Project.
Please write in 750-800 words a personal story resonating with our theme, “Foiled—personal stories of great expectations gone awry by surprise, short-sightedness, and trickery.
These are personal stories of life experience in pursuit of a goad important to the writer, a pursuit interrupted and what the writer did in the face of that obstacle.
No fiction. You may share a story of someone close to you or an ancestor whose story you know well.
