If you have a real-life story that warms the heart and inspires people, then participate in a story contest and win a chance to meet a celebrated author.
Organised by Penguin India, the "Sudha Murty contest" is for the fans of the author of novels like "House of Cards" and "The Mother I Never Knew", among others.
Submitted stories should be real-life tales with a happy ending, as the contest captures the hope, faith, kindness and joy that life is full of.
The top 20 stories will be chosen by Penguin's editors and Murty. These selected stories will then be published by Penguin India, and the anthology will be edited by the author.
