Celebrate Winter Traditions with a WRITING contest from WritersNL!
We’re celebrating the holidays this year by toasting to our local authors!
This year, to commemorate the busy holiday season – with Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, the New Year, and more – we want to read YOUR stories!
Our 2021 theme is: holidays, winter, family traditions and celebrations, and more. We accept fiction, non-fiction, prose, poetry – all formats are welcome for submission.
We will be compiling the top submissions into a holiday/winter-themed e-zine, to be distributed electronically to WritersNL’s membership base – now boasting almost 450 members… That’s almost 1,000 eyes reading your work!
