Although the Becoming Writer Anniversary Contest ended a week ago, we’ve got one final prize to award, the Readers’ Choice Award.

We took the judges top 15 picks, asked readers to read them, and then vote by leaving a comment on the story. The competition was fierce. 369 votes were cast. Several stories were neck and neck for the seven days of voting.

There are six amazing stories that deserve honorable mention. Click on their title below to read them.

 Voices by Erin Miller

Coffee Stains in the Earthlight by Olivia Leitner

The Master Tailor by Leigh Dolinger

Overnight Success by Kieran Meyer

Shadows of the Past by Logan Hammonds

Birdsong by Neil Rochford

These six stories are amazing and worthy of your time.

The Readers’ Choice Award went to a new author who is currently based in Tokyo, Japan. 

The winner is:

Animation by Christian Opperman

Thank you again to the Write Practice, Becoming Writer, and all the amazing authors who made the contest possible.
