Rebecca Cuthbert
Rebecca Cuthbert, an adjunct lecturer in the Department of English, was named a finalist for her short story, "Joiner," in the 51st New Millennium Writings Awards competition.
"Joiner" is a speculative fiction tale set at a country club in rural Georgia. As the protagonist ponders the mystery of a missing coworker, dodges complicated romantic overtures and justifies missed opportunities by working herself exhausted, she doesn't realize how close she is to the danger lurking in the darkness outside.
Ms. Cuthbert was one of 20 finalists in the competition’s fiction category.
New Millennium Writings is an award-winning literary journal that has published more than 2,000 emerging and established writers since its founding in 1996.
