I will be posting the winning entries.  Please feel free to comment on the entries and offer your own feedback.  A new pair of eyes is always helpful to writers! 

The winners will each receive a five-page critique from a published author.  The club wishes to thank those authors who have contributed their time to critiquing.  This contest wouldn’t have worked without you guys!  The Utica Writers Club hopes to host future contest.  We’re eager to hear your suggestions.
