The Eleven-Sentence Medical Mystery begins! Author and former Stanford medical student Josh Spanogle has started the medical school community on writing a collective mystery story. The first sentence of the story will be provided. There is a contest each week for the next sentence in the story, and the writer of each chosen sentence wins a $25 gift certificate to the Stanford Bookstore. Join in the fun by reading the story, looking to see who has written each sentence or contributing your idea for the best next sentence in the ongoing story!
THE FINE PRINT: Open to students, alumni, faculty, staff, housestaff and volunteers and family members with an affiliation to the School of Medicine or Stanford or Packard Hospitals. No more than one entry per week per participant. Include your affiliation to the medical school or hospitals on your email entry. The organizing committee reserves the right to edit entries. Winners agree to have their names announced both at the forum and on the website. Judgments by the organizing committee are final. It is possible to win more than once. Prizes awarded at the Writers Forum on 3 April. To receive the gift card, Stanford requires a social security number or student ID number, as the winnings are considered tax-reportable. All entries are made anonymous for the judges. Have fun!
To submit, send your entry to Dona Tversky (dtversky@stanford.edu) by Monday of each week. Look for winning sentences on Thursdays. Winners will be announced and the progress of the story will be published, and they will receive a $25 gift certificate to the Stanford Bookstore.
