I wanted to let you know that thanks to your encouragement I submitted a story, and I got an email a few days ago saying it had made the first cut! I signed a contract and they said it will most likely be in the book but they won’t know for sure until the publishing date gets closer. I’m pretty excited to have made it this far, though! Thanks for sharing your wisdom and the encouragement to submit stories. I would have never thought of it with reading about it from you!
