Yesterday, Writer’s Digest announced the winners of its 89th annual writing competition. As always, I try to keep you up to date on all the Writer’s Digest competitions and their winners, and I’m on time this year, so I’m happy with myself.

But that’s enough about me. Let’s get to the winners of this year’s competition:

And now, we wait until next year for the submissions to open once again. In the meantime, you should check out the winner’s writing. There are some great stories and articles.

But if you can’t wait and want to submit something to Writer’s Digest right now, then I suggest checking out their short story and poetry competitions. The deadlines for both are November 16, 2020.

Stay safe, everyone.

Until next time.

Cheers,

Danielle
