Thank you all, the wonderful readers and contributors of Micromance Magazine, for “attending” the inaugural The Cupid Prize Awards Ceremony. It means a lot to have such an enthusiastic and supportive community!! I wish you all could have received an award because you all deserve it!!

There are a bunch of wonderful poems and stories coming every day! I can't even imagine how difficult next year's Cupid Prize judges will have it!! But that's a great problem to have - I believe we have some of the best, if not the best, content in the writing community…we definitely have the best writing talent!!

So stay tuned… it's only February and we're still just getting started for 2025!!

Thank you all! And congratulations to all of the nominees and a special “woohoo!” to all the winners!

Happy Valentine's Day, Micromance Community! 💘
