I’m proud to announce the winners and finalists for Tell Your Story’s Fall 2022 writing contest!

This just keeps getting better and better, and I was again blown away by the quality of the submissions. I had to make some very difficult decisions. But in the end, every piece included here is worthy of what I’m striving for with TYS — to be the home of the best creative nonfiction on Medium.

Stay tuned for the upcoming print edition, to be released on Amazon hopefully before the end of 2022. You’ll be supporting writers with your purchase — all revenue is split evenly amongst contributors.

So now… without further preamble… here are the winners and finalists!

First prize, $250, “They Will Try to Kill You”, by Erica Verrillo
