Congratulations to the writer behind the top submission from our August Writing Contest!


Thank you to everyone who participated in this past month's contest. I enjoyed the creative directions each of you took to the prompt. We got submissions of drama, general fiction, essays, and scripts.

Congratulations to the top writers this month and thank you to everyone who submitted work to this contest! If you are one of the winners listed above (and would like your story or excerpt to be featured on Underground Bookshelf) please get in touch with me to make sure that I have the name you would like to be credited under, your pronouns, and a brief bio.

Writers of all levels and abilities are invited to participate in the monthly contests. The theme for August is OWN VOICES. Thanks, and I'm looking forward to reading your work in the future!
