Wow, my friends!
The talent this year blew us away. We wish that we could give every single one of you a prize. Just a few entries in, it became very clear that choosing was going to be quite the chore! Your stories were FANTASTIC! Kaitlyn and I kept adding and adding more Honorable Mentions because there were so many great things. So please know that even if you didn’t place in the top, your stories were incredible. Don’t be discouraged. Every story you write, every competition you enter, every time you get your voice out there, it’s a victory! Thank you so much for sharing your kidlit love with us. And congrats to our winners! (We will be contacting you to select your prizes.)

Thank you, Ciara and Kaitlyn, for hosting this contest. I'm happy to be one of the honorable mentions for Fox's Folly, but my first name is Debra, not Deborah. You have no idea how many people spell my name wrong! Congratulations to the winners, but all who entered are winners because they put their work out into the world.
