a writing event you never want to miss

Have you felt isolated in your room as you're clacking away at your story, struggling through a plot hole or a particular metaphor? Let's be honest, writing can be a quiet, lonely passion if you don't find a hub for people who are just like you. Lucky for you, TYWI is presenting our second bi-annual Write-a-thon, an event unlike anything we've ever done. 

free. workshops. panels. community. contests. lit mags. unforgettable.
welcome aboard SMS TYWI Writeathon: Summer Edition

writeathon contest: burning summer

WINNERS
what is more powerful than burning? in these heats, it's easy to take this theme the literal way, but we want engaging stories and striking poems that bring a metaphorical twist to this theme. what does it mean to be burning? is it vengence? is it love? is it guilt? this could be anything, but what we are looking for most is an undeniable passion that lights up your piece and makes it stand out beyond the rest. drama, power, passion, something that will set our world aflame.

Poetry:
1st: Chloe Lin: "only beneath a summer sky"
2nd: Ivi Hua: Phoenix
3rd: Laiba Yousuf: mid-summer in ephemeral things
Fiction:
​1st: Ayesha H.: City of Ruins

2nd: Sher Ting: Glory Days
3rd: Kat Bador: Water Cools All Burns
