Mary Fagan Named Semi-Finalist In America's Funniest Humor Contest

Parenting humor writer Mary Fagan has been named a semi-finalist in ParentingHumor.com's writing competition for her work "Store Wars: Attack of the Calzones," a humorous look at a typical shopping trip with kids in tow.

Middleport, NY (PRWEB) October 24, 2006 -- Mary Fagan was named a Semi-Finalist in http://HumorPress.com's "America's Funniest Humor!" Writing Contest for August/September 2006.

For her accomplishment, Fagan earned publication online and in print. Her entry, "Store Wars: Attack of the Calzones," is a humorous account of the challenges of a typical trip to the grocery store that anyone can relate to, especially parents with children in tow.

“It’s easy to come up with funny lines when you are around children,” she says. “They have provided me with so many lighter moments that I decided to spread them around on the web.”

"Store Wars: Attack of the Calzones" will be featured in HumorPress's online Humor Showcase until publication of the October/November contest results. It will also appear in an upcoming print edition of "America's Funniest Humor!" published by Humor Press.com.

“It is an honor to have one of my stories chosen by Humor Press for publication, especially because there are so many talented writers who submit their work in this competition. The best part is, I enjoy writing them as much as I enjoy seeing them get published,” says Fagan.

More of Fagan’s humorous parenting stories and life observations are also featured online at http://motherwise.us.

Website readers determine the winner by voting for their favorite from the short stories featured in the online parenting humor competition each month.
