Hi, I'm Lovar Burton and this is Lovar Burton Reads.

In every episode I hand pick a different piece of short fiction and I read it to you.

The only thing these stories have in common is that I love them and I hope you will too.

Now, a couple of weeks ago, I let you know about a very exciting development in the world

of Lovar Burton Reads.

Our very first short story contest facilitated by our partners at FIA Literary Magazine

and our submission window opens August 1st.

Now here's the cherry on top.

Thor.com, the incredible online magazine and community for science fiction and fantasy,

will be collaborating with us on the contest.

I'm still going to read the first place submission allowed on Lovar Burton Reads, but on top of

that, Thor.com will publish the top three entries on their website.

Now, I couldn't be happier about this because it means we can share even more of your

great work.

The contest theme will remain the same, origins and encounters and so will our submission guidelines.

There's just another great reason for you to enter thanks to Thor.com and FIA Literary

Magazine.

Visit Lovar Burton Podcasts.com slash contest for the details and to get your imagination

revved up so you will be ready come August 1st when submissions are open.

I can't wait to read your work.

Y'all, I'm a big foodie.

I admit it.
