Five Make the Shortlist for our June Writing Contest
We are so pleased to announce that FIVE writers have made the shortlist for our June 2022 Write Prompt Challenge.
We try to choose images that can take authors in countless directions, and the image of a city street with muli-coloured buildings took people to some interesting places. These writers approached the provided image with wonderfully unique views that were clever, surprising, and touching.
Congratulations to Lori Green, Lindsey Harrington, Sarah Law, Jennifer Reichow, and Rachel Xie — we wish you well as you go on to the final stage of judging!

It’s only after careers in retail and nursing Jennifer is realizing her dream of becoming a writer. It feels like coming home.
