It is not aimed at inexpensive advertising for those already published.<br /><br />I think I get the point.

Considering the pre-worldwide publication rewards bestowed upon the recipients, mentioning the author might be a crapshoot in this day and age. I say go for it. The alternative is a devil of a hot issue.Carolynnwith2Nshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394998702410764388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-21359897429378827712019-05-21T07:33:43.630-04:002019-05-21T07:33:43.630-04:00Of course, winning one of the flash fiction contes...Of course, winning one of the flash fiction contests here is evergreen. There is nothing more prestigious. Right? <br /><br />I mean, steve Forti is kind of an award all his own.
