Congratulations to the winner’s of this weeks writing contest! They are listed below.

But first, a bit about our new contest series.
Every week we are going to have a contest on our Facebook Page. The contests will change from week to week but the winners will always be published in the magazine. The contest winner and the runners up are chosen by a voting system, and then the editors of Authors Publish will select several additional entries from the rest to be the Editor’s Choice winners.

Below are all the winners of this week’s contest, their challenge was to write a six word memoir. So many people wrote so many wonderful memoirs that it was very difficult to narrow it down to our favorites. If you want to read all of the entries (over 3,000) and see the rest of the contest details click on the link. To see the winners just scroll down.
