Fiction Theme: “He Said, She Said” (or any combination of opposing pronouns)
"No" dialogue is essentially two people talking past each other. The surface disagreement is specific and concrete, and yet at the same time, full of deep emotional undertones carried in opposing realities. We'll be looking for conflict, characterization and detail. Please include the words imaginary, see-saw, and ketchup.
Nonfiction Theme: “On the Road Again”
Take us on a journey with your road story, whether it was a cross-country or cross-town trip in a van, hybrid or two-wheel vehicle. We'll be looking for drama, description and voice—and to feel the wind in our hair.
