FAQs about the literary contest/magazine

how is my story selected to win?
There are a couple steps before a story is selected to win. First, I will look through the stories and put them through a plagiarism checker online. Once a story has been proved original, both my father (who studied journalism all throughout highschool and started hs own business) and myself will look through the stories and decide which three are the best, and they will then be posted on the voting page where users can select the best story in THEIR opinion. It remains anonymous until a winner has been selected. In the event of a tie, multiple stories will be shared.
