For the Holiday Story Contest–You want an attachment to the e-mail instead of the story contained within the body of the e-mail? That’s how I read the directions, but I’ve found that other publishers don’t want an attachment, so I’m just clarifying.
Thank You,

@Mary – Yes, we would like the story as an attachment. Thank you!
Laura,
Thank you for your prompt reply. I appreciate it. Now, I have to get to work rewriting and rewriting and rewriting my holiday story.
Again, Thanks,
Mary Ann Duke
You’re welcome!
this is really interesting! I’m thinking of joining…hmmm…
I submitted a Christmas story for your contest a few years ago. It didn’t win but I was asked if it could be considered in the future. (I said yes) Could I rewrite and submit it?
Yes, please do!
I think I could wrangle up a Christmas story. How do you feel about re-purposed pieces. I wrote a piece for my blog called “It’s All About the Love” several years ago that I can rewrite to include more detail and change the title to something catchier.
Also–totally off topic. I love the graphic, the lights on the tree are positively twlinkling at me and make me so happy. Oh wait, that might be my migraine medication. lol. Seriously, though, who did your graphic?
Yes. Send us what you can. And the graphic is just something that one of our interns found online. But yes, I love it too. =)
Do you want the Christmas stories to be true?
No, they don’t have to be true.
I submitted my Christmas story a few days ago. I hope you received it. I am excited because I worked very hard to add interiority and fix my “talking heads.” I feel good.
Thank You,

We did receive your submission, Mary Ann. Thanks!
I love your Christmas Contest! I have looked long and hard throughout the year for just the right contest, and I believe yours is the best.
Is there a way to find out if my submission has been received?
Thank You
“Ask and ye shall receive”
Yes, we did get your submission. Thank you and good luck!
My daughter just told me that you had this contest and they grew up with my Christmas stories; suggested that I submit 1 but it does not meet the minimun 5k. Are you firm with thie requirement?
No, you are welcome to still send it in.
I read the winner to be announced Dec 15 2012, will the winners be notified on that date also?
It states “You will be notified January 13, 2912.”
Where did you hear about the December 2012 date?
Not 2912. I’m confusing everyone more!!!! What a nut I am.
We will be announcing winners tomorrow: Jan 13th, 2012. Sorry for any confusion.
Have the winners been announced yet?
I have been trying to find a list and so far have been unsuccessful…if you find out let the rest of us know.
I have been watching anxiously and cannot find a word about it. Are only the winners to be notified by email, or is everyone to be notified by email who the winners are?
Sorry. The winners were listed on facebook on Friday, but we neglected to announce them here. I just made a new post about it. Here’s the link: http://www.cedarfortbooks.com/2011-holiday-story-writing-contest-winners/
Thanks for the contest opportunity. I am sorry that my baby was deemed not suitable. LoL
Maybe next time. Again, thank you.
