Our Remember in November Contest for Creative Nonfiction ran for several years before being sunset in 2020. Here’s a look at the past results:
Hello! I would like to submit a nonfiction essay @3,500 words. When is your next submission deadline please? It’s a memoir in my life called “Impossible Emily” – it discusses the fact that I am the fifth born child of an Rh negative couple before the program shot was available. My doctor say I am a miracle. Also, my family had a terrible boat wreck when I was 3. We were in the water for 24 hours and when we were rescued, I was considered dead. I gave national news articles & we were even I the National Enquirer! I tie these “against the odds” background with my personality being stubborn & “impossible.”
