Four student winners have been named in the Frederick Hartmann Fiction Contest. Details...
The winners are:
1st place: Julia Whicker
2nd place: Charter Woodruff
3rd place: Elizabeth Scott
4th place: Johannah Lawrence
A total of 35 fiction works were submitted in the competition.
The winners were chosen by Elizabeth Stuckey-French, writer-in-residence at Elon and a faculty member in the graduate MA/PHD program in creative writing at Florida State Univeristy. Her stories have appeared in The Atlantic, Gettysburg Review and Southern Review. Her new collection of short stories, “The First Paper Girl in Red Oak, Iowa,” was published this year by Doubleday. Stuckey-French visited creative writing and literature classes at Elon, gave a reading and judged the contest.
The contest is open to all Elon students, with a poetry competition held in the fall and a fiction competition held in the spring. Funding is provided by Elon alumnus William Manness ’38, Jacksonville, Fla., in honor of his friend, Frederick Hartmann, retired editor of the Florida Times-Union.
