Momaya Short Story Review 2018 - Coming of Age

Momaya Press has been giving writers a worldwide forum for fifteen years. Each year, we receive short story submissions from all over the world and bring the best of them together in the prestigious Momaya Short Story Review. “Coming of Age” was the theme for our fifteenth competition. We hoped for equal parts enlightenment to tragedy and were rooting for the protagonist to rise to the occasion. What we found exceeded our expectations. We learned that one can come of age in so many ways, at so many times. Coming of age is not just about growing up. It’s about becoming who you are meant to be — or perhaps who you feared you would become.
