Talking Tuesday: CONTEST WINNERS

Behind the scenes at Mormon Mommy Writers there has been a flurry of emails all leading up to the announcement of the winners of this years writing contest.  I was on an extended maternity leave from the blog last year during the preparations for our first publication, so it has been exciting for me to be involved in the experience.

This year we had three categories: Poetry, Short Story, and Essay.  Entries were judged by a panel of seven people and scores were compiled to determine a first, second, and third place in each category.
