I received the email letter below from Margaret Turley who has been so pivotal in making this event a success. I know the deadline is close but if you have a short story or are in the mood to write one (page limit 4000 words), then here's a place to do that and also help out a very deserving charity. Please support them if you can.The 2013 WUFC Writing Contest is open for entry submissions from April 16th, 2013–midnight August 15th. PRESS RELEASE
This year’s theme is The Drive to Thrive, with emphasis on Thriving verses merely surviving life’s challenges and obstacles.
