We’re in the home stretch!
OK. Here we go. You had a nice long break, some time to refresh your brains and fingers. You’ve got no excuse. We’re asking you to bring it this week. Bring us your hearts, your laughter, your tears, your questions. Bring us your essays, your fiction, your poetry, your microstories. Bring us your best ass-kicking, mind-blowing, prize-winning words. We want them all.
In return, we have a whole pile of amazing prizes for the three winning writers and the people who referred them, as long as you’ve all signed up for our email blast. Many many thanks to our contest prize donors: anonymous friends, Victoria Barrett of Engine Books, Myfanwy Collins and Lindt Chocolate.
Want to know who’s in the running so far? Here’s a sneak peek at the current contenders.
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 / -5:00 GMT.

What’s this about a vote?
Although the winning entries will be determined by our editorial staff panel, you can still earn bragging rights by winning the popular vote which takes place on Thursdays. Remember: yeah write is not a popularity contest, so no self-voting, no targeted voting and no campaigning for your own entry.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
This week’s ultimate question: how come no one warned me?
Answer this question in exactly 42 words for the gargleblaster micro challenge, or use it to inspire your submission to the other competitive grids. The nonfiction challenge opens on Monday, the speakeasy fiction|poetry challenge opens on Tuesday and the gargleblaster micro challenge opens on Wednesday.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]
Winners’ round-up
In case you missed them, you can find the yeah write #189 crowd favorites all laid out for you on Friday’s winners’ post. Leave the winners some love in the comments. They will love you right back, we guarantee it.
The weekend’s not over: the moonshine grid is still open. Have something to add? Old posts and new are welcome. No moderation, no voting. It’s a laid-back relaxed kind of place.

How yeah write works
We’ve got three competitive challenge grids — nonfiction, fiction|poetry and microstories. They are all moderated. Submissions which do not meet our editorial guidelines will not be passed through to the voting grid.
You’ll find the schedule, submissions guidelines, etc. in our FAQ.
