Summary

In 1983, I began a unique competition that invited thousands of U.S. and global entrants to submit imaginative opening sentences for fictional novels. This contest has survived for decades, offering a unique chance for young writers to explore their creative voices in a competitive setting. My daughter, EJ, has supported this endeavor for many years, ensuring the event remains relevant and engaging for modern readers. Ultimately, the competition has provided an inspiring platform for young authors to share their stories with a vast audience and leave a lasting legacy on literature.
