Rochester and New York City based author's story chosen as Story of the Month by one of Writer's Digest's Top 101 Writing Websites.

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) June 9, 2006 -- The board of editors at Long Story Short e-zine chose Mark Jabo's story, "A Sweetheart Like You" as it's Story of the Month in June.

"A Sweetheart Like You" was inspired by the Bob Dylan song and a cautionary article about online dating.

Edited by Denise Cassino, Linda Barnett-Johnson, and Susan Scott, Long Story Short features fine writing from fiction and poetry to essays and, unlike many journals, also offers critiques from their submission committee. Their goal is to promote and advance the work of writers worldwide.
