#FallWritingFrenzy 2022 Winners!

Greetings #FallWritingFrenzy peeps-

We know you’re all excited to see the winners from the fourth annual Fall Writing Frenzy contest! There were almost 300 wonderful entries. You can access, read, and comment on many of them here, if you haven’t already:

Fall Writing Frenzy Entry Form 2022

It wasn’t easy- but Kaitlyn (Fall Writing Frenzy creator), Alyssa (2022 Fall Writing Frenzy Guest Judge & Donor), and I, Lydia, (Fall Writing Frenzy Co-host) managed to narrow the entries down. And of course, we have more than the original 20 prizes to give…we just couldn’t help ourselves! We all loved multiple entries so much that we just had to offer more than one prize!

Thank you to everyone for your patience, but most of all, for the way you all came together as a community. In the past few weeks, Kaitlyn, Alyssa, and I have been overjoyed as we watched you make connections with one another, become inspired in your writing, and cheer each other on. This is what makes the kidlit community so special!

And now….the time has come to make the special announcement everyone has been waiting for…BUT- before we do, we would like to say, from the bottom of our hearts, that you are ALL winners in our eyes. We had trouble narrowing down and choosing the winners because there were so many stellar entries. You are all tremendous writers, and what’s more, you’re devoted to your craft. And that’s the most important thing. So please don’t be disappointed if you don’t see your name below, we could only pick a certain amount. So here we go…
