Week Two of the November writing contest!
We’re spicing up the grids with a little competition, and so far we’re pretty excited by the results. Want to know who’s in the running so far? Here’s a sneak peek at the current contenders. No recognizable avatars, and it’s sorted strictly by genre. Hover over each thumbnail to preview the semi-finalists. If you see your Week One entry, congratulations! You’ve made it through to the next round.
Loading InLinkz ...Did you miss Week One of the writing contest?
No problem! Over the four weeks, our editors will be selecting the top three pieces. If you enter in Week Three, but leave the Weeks One and Two writers in the dust? There’s a place for you in the final selections. Sign up with our entry form, subscribe to our weekly email blast if you haven’t already, and jump into the competition.
Remember:
- You must be a subscriber to the yeah write weekly email blast to be eligible for any of the prizes. If you haven’t already subscribed, here’s the link.
- You may submit one piece to each of the three competitive grids, but you must fill out this entry form for each submission. Note: no entry form means you won’t get moved to the voting grid this week, no matter how awesomely awesome your piece is. Please be sure to submit your form before the grids close at 10:00 PM Eastern [ -5 GMT].

If you win, your referrer will win too! Many many thanks to our contest prize donors: anonymous friends, Victoria Barrett of Engine Books, Myfanwy Collins, and Lindt Chocolate.
What’s this about a vote?

Remember: yeah write is not a popularity contest, so no self-voting, no targeted voting, and no campaigning for your own entry.

We’ve also got the moonshine weekend writing showcase, which is a great place to let loose and try something new, plus the yeah write coffeehouse — the hippest place on the ‘net to find a writing partner, talk about writing or just hang out with other yeah writers.
