Congratulations to everyone who entered The Bertie! All of the entries were great and we had such a HARD time choosing the winners. If your name is listed – congratulations! Lisa Lewis Tyre will be getting in touch with you soon to mail your check.

If your name is not listed – don’t worry. Every member of the Mafia has had stories that didn’t win. It’s part of being a writer. But the awesome thing is that you created an entire world of characters that didn’t exist before. We’ll say it again – AWESOME.
