I think most helpful was the attention to the various story lines that wind through the book; the editing focused on making sure story lines were consistent, coherent, and maintained. It really came down to small tinkerings here and there, which made all the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contest Guidelines<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Submission period:\u00a0 April 1 to July 31, 2018<\/li>\n<li>Online submission, $25 entry fee, <a href=\"https:\/\/augsburghowlingbirdpress.submittable.com\">https:\/\/augsburghowlingbirdpress.submittable.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Augsburg University MFA faculty and publishing students serve as judges<\/li>\n<li>Winner announced in than January 2019<\/li>\n<li>More submission information: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/mfa\/\">http:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/mfa\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Published books from previous winners can be found at Howling Bird Press\u2019s website,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/engage.augsburg.edu\/howlingbird\/books\/\">http:\/\/engage.augsburg.edu\/howlingbird\/books\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Follow our news updates at Facebook,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/howlingbirdpress\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/howlingbirdpress\/<\/a>.<br \/>\nSubscribe to our Twitter feed, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HowlingBirdPrs\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/HowlingBirdPrs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">###<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>About Howling Bird Press<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Howling Bird Press is a student run publishing house at Augsburg University located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.\u00a0 The press launched in 2014, is located at\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/mfa\"><em>www.augsburg.edu\/mfa<\/em><\/a><em>,\u00a0<\/em><em>is part of the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program.
