I won a contest! Hooray!

On a whim, I submitted the first five pages of my memoir-in-progress to Modern Muse’s First Five Pages Contest. To my surprise, I won!

The prize was a developmental critique and line edit of my first chapter. Here is an excerpt from my chapter “Be Like Water” after the editors carefully critiqued it.

If you are a writer, I suggest you submit to Modern Muse’s next contest. They host the contests quarterly, and you could win!

Good luck!
