Posts about the Writers of the Future contest.
My resolution to write a short-story per month in 2017 is still on track. I’ve got four short stories under my belt already. And that kind of productivity is starting to cause problems. First, my critique group is getting overloaded. When I was pumping out stories less than 5000 words (the submission limit for my…
So, last weekend I attended the Writers of the Future Writing Workshop. I know what you’re thinking… it’s strange that someone who won the Writers of the Future contest, and attended the one-week long workshop, would pay to attend such an event. Well, attending it actually alligns with a couple of my writing phisosophies: The idea…
My Novelette “In the Service of Aliens” has been published by Ten Thirty-one books. It is available on Amazon in ebook format.

How cool is this? This is the cover on volume 27 of L. Ron Hubbard presents Writers of the Future book! My bio and then my story, “The Truth, from a Lie of Convenience” starts on page 65 and is the longest in the book at 13,000 words. One of the judges told me that…
This was my first LOSCON (The Los Angeles Regional Science Fantasy Convention) and I was quite impressed. Lots of good information, famous people, and intertsting things to buy. Unfortunately, I missed out on all of the parties I was invited to. My favorite person at this conference was the Writing Guest of Honor, Emma Bull. She played the…
Maybe I should believe in clichés, because no news turned out to be fantastic news! Joni Labaqui called me yesterday with news that made be all emotional.

Okay, I’m not someone who believes the cliché, “no news is good news.” It’s been 57 days–or 8 weeks and 1 day–since I learned I was a finalist in the Writers and Future Contest. Judging has never taken this long for any other contest quarter. Even if Author Services is working on the 25th Anniversary Coffee…
There’s no word yet from the Writers and Future Contest. I’m not expecting anything too soon, as they are quite busy with their Writers of the Future 25th Anniversary Edition coffee table book. Word will come, I think it’s just going to take a little longer this quarter. On the other hand, I’m getting close to looking for…
Well, my name is up on the Writers and Future Blog, so I guess I can post the information here. My novelette, “The Truth, From a Lie of Convenience,” is a finalist in the Writers and Future Contest. This is the second story of mine that has reached the rank of Finalist. – Brennan Harvey
The first round of honorable mention awards is up at the Writers and Future Blog. I’m not on the list, but that is nothing to worry about yet. There are always multiple rounds of announcements, and I’m usually on the third to last round. I don’t know if that means anything significant or not. I think…
