New York-based author's story chosen as Story of the Month by Writer's Digest's Top 101 Writing Website


 


New York, NY (PRWEB) June 9, 2006 -- The board of editors at Long Story
Short e-zine chose Mark Jabo's story, "A Sweetheart Like You" as it's
Story of the Month in June.





"A Sweetheart Like You" was inspired by the Bob Dylan song and a cautionary article about online dating.





Edited by Denise Cassino, Linda Barnett-Johnson, and Susan Scott, Long
Story Short features fine writing from fiction and poetry to essays
and, unlike many journals, also offers critiques from their submission
committee. Their goal is to promote and advance the work of writers
worldwide.
