We regret to inform authors that there has been a slight delay in the announcement of a winner for the inaugural AAWP/ASSF Short Story Prize.

The judges are very impressed by the diverse entries, as well as the thoughtful and poised handling of voice and subject matter. The judges are working diligently on the short list and we will be in touch with an outcome very soon. We understand delays are not easy for authors and we are thank you for your patience.
