Brief description of the book:

“Like Mark Twain stated in his forward to Tom Sawyer, I challenge anyone to find a semblance of plot in the following pages. The characters are drawn from life, real or imagined. You will have to decide which is which. Readers will find amusement, a little history, and probably some things to fuss, discuss, and even cuss about. Now I dare you to turn the first page.”


Submission Guidelines:

    1. Standard manuscript form. Double-spaced. Times New Roman, 12 pt. Font.
    2. Word count must be under 3,000 and pages stapled.
    3. No content your Sunday school teacher wouldn’t read.
    4. Author’s name and page number on each page in the header. (This judge doesn’t know many people in the area yet, so I’m not prejudiced, and even if I were, I know a good story when I read it.)
