Synopsis

American Renaissance for the Twenty-first Century (ART), a nonprofit arts foundation, has announced the winners of the Silver Rose Award for Excellence in the Art of the Short Story. Stories selected to receive this prestigious honor were chosen from over 1000 short stories published during 2001 in large, well-known magazines and in small, lesser-known journals and webzines. In all, twelve authors were chosen by ART to receive the Silver Rose Award for Excellence in the Art of the Short Story. These "one dozen silver roses" are now available in ART’s inaugural publication of SILVER ROSE ANTHOLOGY: Award-Winning Short Stories 2001, the first in an annual anthology series that will feature short stories from twelve authors who have earned ART’s newest award. ART is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts foundation with a stated mission to "promote a rebirth of beauty and life-affirming values in all of the fine arts." The Silver Rose is ART’s symbol of beauty, and the Silver Rose Award for Excellence in the Art of the Short Story was created to honor writers of exceptional short stories that, one way or another, embody this mission.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Alexandra York, Series Editor, Publisher Silver Rose Press:

Here is a unique and uplifting experience for readers of fiction. SILVER ROSE ANTHOLOGY: Award-Winning Short Stories 2001 contains twelve award-winning stories from authors who offer us thoughtful images of men and women at their best, stories about everyday people who tackle their problems with reason and resolve. But smartly rising above and beyond "happily ever after" tales, these are realistic ventures, subtly affirming that happiness in life is, in fact, possible and that each of us has the ability to make it so.

From the Author:

Alexandra York, SILVER ROSE ANTHOLOGY Series Editor and founding president of ART, states: Our focus was on the story and the excellence of writing, but the range of authors we chose to honor is impressive. Some are very well known, including one Pulitzer Prize winner, while others are only now emerging. It'’s an unexpected and unusual mix.

Kevin Watson, SILVER ROSE ANTHOLOGY Managing Editor, adds: This anthology seems not only to be timely but actually crucial. Now more than ever the world needs art that gives emphasis to positive values, including stories that introduce us to everyday people facing and tackling everyday problems with reason and resolve. And though the writers of these stories all have different voices, their stories strike a similar chord: they speak of the human experience enriched by the struggle for happiness and meaning in life.
