It's finally here! Yayyyyy!
In the current issue of Writing magazine, we have published the six winners of this year's "Take Me Away!" writing contest. Back in September, we challenged our readers to imagine a land of make-believe--of mythical creatures and dreams, of snakes and snails and puppy dog tails. Well maybe not all of those. In any case, we received a ton of entries and they were all (in their own special way) fantastic!
Author Ursula K. Le Guin was our guest judge, and you can read the works of the four student authors who won this contest by picking up an issue of Writing, or right here online at WORD. The winners are:
Junior Poetry I am Going to Leekartos By Rachael A. Schermer, age 13Read It
Senior Poetry The Benevolent Dictator By Justin Hanselman, age 15Read It
Junior FictionEmbers of the Moonlight By Ela Banerjee, age 13Read It
Senior FictionThe Metamorphosis By Megan Mikhail, age 14Read It
Congratulations to our four student writer winners! Make sure to come back here to WORD every day this week to read the poems and stories of our runner-ups, alongside brief comments from Ursula Le Guin!
