High Hope for the Freelance Writer                                                                     

Wow and double-wow. We had a record 250 entries in this year's FundsforWriters Essay Contest. The writing quality has quadrupled in value over the last couple of years. This theme resonated with so many writers. We never expected so many diversified interpretations of "Invisible Writing." Kudos to you all. This year was just remarkable, and FundsforWriters thanks you for participating and endorsing us.

 
So....(drumroll)....without further adieu...(drumroll)...here are the winners of the Eighth Annual FundsforWriters Essay Contest. The stories will be up on the website by tomorrow, and I hope you'll enjoy reading all of them. And winners . . . I'll be in touch.
