Today is The Write Practice’s fifth anniversary!
That’s pretty crazy to think about. Five years ago, The Write Practice was just a budding site, one little writing blog trying to make a space for itself on the internet. Since then, we’ve grown into a thriving community full of amazing writers who come back day after day to share our writing practice and support each other.
The truth is, The Write Practice wouldn’t be what it is today without you. So to celebrate turning five, I want to say, THANK YOU.
And what better way to say “Thank you!” than with a giveaway?

We’re very proud to publish this story by Maia Thomlinson, which won the grand prize of $300 in the 2016 Spring Writing Contest with wordhaus literary magazine.
Run. Run. Run.
As light bleeds into this endless plane, I run towards the rising sun.
I run from destruction, from my own pounding heart. Gun shots fire. Still, I run.
Pressed tight up against my chest, my baby brother whimpers. The tall grass grabs for his tiny, bare feet, and I clutch him tighter still. This precious cargo is all I have left; no more family, no village, no home.

In this post, I want to share a secret I’ve learned about how to win a writing contest. Plus, I published a new book yesterday all about how to get the most out of writing contests (and I want to give it to you for free).

Today, we’re officially opening the BW Spring Writing Contest! Here at Becoming Writer, we’re all about exceptional writing contests, and we’re excited to share what makes this one special. In general, writing contests offer motivation to write and prizes for the winners. But we know we can do more. What if a writing contest didn’t just ask you to write a winning piece, but helped you to grow as a writer along the way?

I am currently in talks with a small press about publishing my novel, and they finally gave me a book publishing contract!
While I’m a writer by night, by day, I work as a lawyer, and so I draft and review agreements for a living. When I received my book publishing contract, part of me really wanted to save some money and just review it myself.
But I didn’t.
