It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for…
It’s time to announce the winners of the yeah write super challenge. To get this far, our writers have shared their personal stories and persuaded us to consider their views. Then they took a chance with their writing style and demonstrated flexibility in this final, open round.
I loved being a fly on the wall in the judges’ group for the postmortem of this round. “All the feels,” one judge said, and another commented “I know we’re giving prizes, but this belongs in an anthology somewhere, too.”
We hope everyone had as much fun as we did, and that if you’re not a regular here you’ll stick around for our main challenge grids, both nonfiction and fiction|poetry! It’s a great way to keep in practice and get quality feedback from our supportive community, and we’ve got some exciting changes coming in the next month as part of our sixth birthday celebration, including a new challenge!
Imagine a really big drumroll here, please.
