We’ve had such a great week—thanks to you.

Seeing writers and readers step up to support literary journals has been inspiring and fun, and we were thrilled when our little contest turned into a HUGE contest, thanks to the many literary journals who so generously offered to donate free subscriptions and/or discounts to make it easy for writers to subscribe.

We’re pleased to announce our winners!

And so, with no more ado…

GRAND PRIZE winner: Two subscriptions of choice courtesy of Writer’s Relief go to Marsha K. for subscribing to Hunger Mountain and The Missouri Review. Marsha has chosen The New England Review and The Kenyon Review as her two gift subscriptions from us!

BONUS winner: A one-year subscription to a journal of choice courtesy of Writer’s Relief goes to Karrie W. (poetrysideshow.com) for subscribing to Tar River Poetry and The New England Review. Karrie has chosen Ploughshares as her gift subscription from us!

A Note From A Happy Winner:

Thank you so much! I am so excited. I honestly hadn’t considered how valuable lit mag subscriptions could be to a writer and for the writing community. Now I’m excited for all the new work that will be coming to my door from 3 different mags!

P.S. If you’re a writer who doesn’t yet know how publishing in a literary journal can advance your writing career, read our new article via The Huffington Post:
