WELCOME TO WOMEN’S MEMOIRS CONTEST VALENTINE’S DAY READATHON
This is the eleventh and final Valentine’s Day Memoir Contest story to be published in our first-ever ReadAThon. In this blog, we’re announcing the Grand Winner for our fourth category — Most Humorous Valentine’s Day Story. Each hour, for 11 hours, we have published an award-winning Valentine’s Day story.
We have four categories–
Worst Valentine’s Day
Worst Valentine’s Day Eventually Becoming Positive (Might Take Many Years)
Best Valentine’s Day
Most Humorous Valentine’s Day (In Retrospect, If Not at the Time)
and have published the award winners in that sequence. For each category, we publish the grand winner followed by the runner(s) up in alphabetical order.

After fifteen years, we’ve developed our own shorthand for these conversations.
