I’m delighted to announce the winners of October’s One Perfect Sentence competition!
This month, we made all the entries anonymous, so there was no possibility of favouritism. The votes simply reflected your own unfiltered perception of the entries.
However, I’ve just unmasked the entrants, and I’m thrilled to give you the results! As you remember, the writing prompt was - "your best closing sentence for a book in the Romance genre".
Prizes have been awarded as follows:
1st place: 100 LitBits
2nd place: 50 LitBits
3rd place: 25 LitBits
Special mention: 10 LitBits
I still haven’t explained what LitBits are… All in good time…!
Well done, everyone, for entering and voting... next month's contest starts on the 7th - watch out for it!
