. . . And We Start Accepting Submissions For Our Fall Contest On August 1

Since 2015, when The Ghost Story Supernatural Fiction Award began, winners and honorable mentions have included writers who had never before published a single word—as well as writers who had already received broad acclaim for their novels, nonfiction books, short fiction, poetry, and articles of all kinds.

Lisa Taddeo, author of our our summer 2017 TGS Fiction Award-winning story, “The Donegal Suite,” is one of the latter. At the time she submitted “The Donegal Suite,” she had already earned the first of her two Pushcart Prizes for a short story, as well as attracted a great deal of attention for her nonfiction articles in Esquire and other magazines. 

Recently, Lisa also published her first book—a wonderful and searching piece of nonfiction titled Three Women, which has already gotten a great deal of attention in the media. We wanted to tell TGS readers about her book—and also to say congratulations to its author.

Rather than summarize “Three Women,” you can read more about it on its official publisher’s page.

Meanwhile keep in mind that very soon we will begin accepting submissions for our fall competition. If you’re a writer, and you are thinking about submitting a piece, please have a look at our contest guidelines. 

Beyond that, we hope you’re having a great summer.
