Winter is coming!

Which means – among other things – the end of our fall writing competition. Who won? Well, with so many great entries we’ve decided to take a week to decide. We’ll announce the winners next week. In the meantime, although the ultimate winners will be chosen by the editorial staff, we’re going to let all of you vote on your favorites out of the semi-finalists.

The usual voting rules apply: yeah write is not a popularity contest, so no self-voting, no targeted voting, and no campaigning for your own entry. There are a lot of them, so take your time to read and vote. You get nine (9!) votes!

Did we say prizes?

We’ve got everything from cash to books to chocolate on the line for the winners. Many many thanks to our contest prize donors: anonymous friends, Victoria Barrett of Engine Books, Myfanwy Collins, and Lindt Chocolate.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image border_color=”green” img_link_target=”_self” image=”22666″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”22670″ alignment=”center” border_color=”sky” img_link_target=”_blank” img_size=”full” link=”http://enginebooks.org/_source/books.html” style=”vc_box_border”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”22458″ alignment=”center” border_color=”sandy_brown” img_link_target=”_blank” img_size=”full” link=”http://myfanwycollins.com/blog/” style=”vc_box_border”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”22665″ alignment=”center” border_color=”purple” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_border”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]

This week’s ultimate question: what do we have to lose?

The weekly writing challenge is back to normal this week. No extra submission forms, no contest pressure. Just our usual nonfiction, fiction|poetry and micro challenges.

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]

New to yeah write? Here’s how it 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 must include the appropriate badge for your challenge, and commercial/promotional posts will not be accepted.

You’ll find all the details including the schedule, submissions guidelines, etc. in our FAQ.
