The end of the year is fast approaching, and here at The Write Practice we want to finish 2016 with a bang. Today, we’re kicking off the Winter Writing Contest, our LAST writing contest of the year.
It’s been a wild ride to the end of 2016. As writers, I want us to finish this year out strong.
What better way to wrap up the year than with a writing contest?
Last week, our partner literary magazine Short Fiction Break announced the winners of the 5th Anniversary Writing Contest. Entering this contest was a huge accomplishment for all our writers, and we want to celebrate the winners here on The Write Practice, as well.
We received over 300 entries to this contest from a number of very talented writers. The judges thoroughly enjoyed reading all your stories, and with such an amazing selection, you made their job of choosing just a handful of winners very difficult.
You should be proud. We’re very proud of you.
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?
