Tacoma Writes

WINNERS ARE POSTED! Congratulations!!!!!! 😃

Hello!

I have read all of your stories and loved each and every one of them. Now it's time to pick some winners.

I will notify the winners via email. Their stories will be posted on the site for one week. After that I'm not sure what will happen next.

The winning stories are the ones that resonated with me, that left me thinking or that made me wonder... what happens next. All of you did excellent work, and I've enjoyed reading your prose.

I will announce the winners and post their stories on Saturday, March 14th at 7pm PST.

Thanks again and good luck,

-Tony Brown
