Zip-Code Stories: Our October Picks

"Revere Beach, 1972" by Daniel Gewertz and "Brookline Night" by Vanessa Tardiff are our winner and runner-up for October's round of Zip-Code Stories. Zip-Code Stories is a collaboration between The Drum and WBUR's Radio Boston. Each month, we'll name four zip codes from the Greater Boston area and we'll ask you to send in your 500-word stories (fiction or non-fiction) about one of those zip codes. To read more about Zip-Code Stories, visit our page on WBUR's website. And to hear the four short stories we collected when we launched the program this past August, click here. The zip codes for this round were 02139, 02246, 02657, and 02151. The next four zip codes are: Somerville's 02144, Lowell's 01851, Framingham's 01702, and Salem's 01970. Send us your 500-word story by November 10th. Submission guidelines are here.about Daniel Gewertzabout Vanessa Tardiff
