(1) Read This and Write

Momaya Press is profiled in the June 2005 edition of the Harvard Business School Alumni Magazine. The text of the article read as follows.

"If you are capable of reading this article, you are capable of writing a short story," says Monisha Saldanha Koruth (MBA '01), cofounder and director of London's Momaya Press, dedicated to the promotion and publication of short stories. Koruth, a manager at an Internet development services firm, publishes an annual short- story review, sponsors a short-story competition, and organizes theatrical performances adapted from stories. "Our goal is to create a friendly, nonthreatening forum that will encourage people to both write and read short stories," she says. "A short story can be written in an afternoon or a weekend. We all have stories to tell, and it is a thing of beauty to share your mind with the world." For this year's competition (deadline June 30), Koruth welcomes submissions at www.momayapress.com
