Austin Chronicle Short Story Contest Reception
Wednesday, February 13
BookPeople (603 N. Lamar)
Free, 7pm
[info]
Two months ago, we let you know about the Austin Chronicle's annual Short Story contest, open to aspiring writers from Texas and the world. This Wednesday, the winners will be unveiled at a BookPeople gala, catered by Austin Java.

The first, second, and third-place winners will all read their stories. Austinist just happens to have a horse in this race—Ben Reed, our Accidental Gentrifist, for his story, "The Dutch Seroconversion." Go to cheer Ben on, or to find a new fave local writer. The three winners will be selected out of more than 275 submissions, and the first-place winner will be published in next week's Chronicle.
