6-Word StoryQuest Writing Contest Winners
Take your novel, memoir, trade nonfiction book, your creative mess-in-the-works, your business brand identity, and distill it into 6 words.
It’s not easy. As more than one person has observed, coming up with ideas is easy. Keeping them simple is hard work.
But it’s necessary. Without the art of idea distillation, you get lost & frustrated and ultimately will confuse your audience.
That’s why we launched the 6-Word StoryQuest Contest – to help you keep it simple and elegant. In just 6 days, we had a flurry of entries.
I called upon Tracking Wonder’s apprentice Mary Cinadr to be our main judge. Mary has extensive background in helping businesses, NPOs, and individuals write better copy, shape their brand identities and manuscripts, and execute more effective marketing plans for their brilliant ideas. She proved the ideal judge to help select the winners from a stellar list of submissions.
Here are our winners and runners-up!
First place: Lara Edwards
Second place: Peggy Acott
Third place: Ginny Taylor
Ginny receives a signed copy of The Journey from the Center to the Page: YogaPhilosophies & Practices as Muse for Authentic Writing to keep her anchored and grounded on her writing quest.
