North Carolina Writers' Network: Paul Byall wins 2010 Thomas Wolfe Fiction Prize North Carolina -- Final judge Sheri Reynolds, best-selling author of five novels, named Paul Byall of Savannah, Georgia, the winner of the 2010 Thomas Wolfe Fiction Prize for his story "Sequestered". Reynolds said of this story, whose main character, Maggie, finds herself sequestered as a jury member at a murder trial, "This writer brilliantly controls the story's tempo, moving between scene and summary, between details of the murder and the trial itself. The story is controlled, complicated and graceful."NOTICE:I've been making an effort recently to connect with people who knew me in one or more of my previous lives, so if you happen to remember me from 'way back when' please punch me out an email at pbyall@gmail.com, and I promise to get back to you. That's pbyall@gmail.com.
09-10-11. I've just been informed that my short story "Do You Remember Me?" has been chosen the winner of the 2011 Porter Fleming Fiction Prize. The final judge, Professor Cecelia Tichi of Vanderbilt, cited the story for its "skillful combination of allusion and specificity, its deft handling of time changes and its plotting." The story will appear in the Spring Issue of the Bellingham Review. I will make the story available here, in its entirety, after it has appeared in print. |
