Unspoken Challenge Winners
Convey a deep conversation between two individuals without uttering a single word aloud. This Challenge gave us an incredible array of heartfelt stories. We never dreamed so many intimate exchanges could be had without saying a word. Interestingly, many entries were filled with sad emotions. Loss, heartbreak, betrayal, despondency. It seems wordlessness brings us to a serious place, creatively speaking.

Extraterrestrial Challenge Winners
Write a rhyming poem about the first thing you would introduce to an alien on Earth. At first we thought this Challenge prompt was going to be an easy one. We envisioned submissions filled with quick, zany answers, bright, loud things that would impress an alien and make us laugh.

Chapters Challenge Winners
It's one of the most difficult tasks in writing. Write about yourself. Now, do it for an entire book. And make it engaging, enthralling if possible. We understand how tall an order that is so in designing this Challenge we only asked for a middle chapter, that point where things are really rolling and you're deep into your personal, historical writing journey. Still, there's not much that's easy about the middle of an autobiography either!
