A Diversity of Expression: 2022 Anthology of Winning Prose & Poetry

By Southwest Writers

The SouthWest Writers 2022 Writing Contest motto was A Diversity of Expression. Thirteen categories of prose, poetry, fiction, and non-fiction as well as art and photography grace this delightful anthology of winning entries.
The motto of SouthWest Writers is "Writers Helping Writers." We do this through classes, conferences, workshops and a membership of more than 430 people―many of whom are published, well-known authors. Twice monthly meetings offer insights and opportunities for networking.

The Annual Writing Contest offers an important step in an author's development. It focuses on short pieces of poetry, non-fiction essays and genre-driven short prose. The contest allows both budding authors and seasoned writers to sharpen their skills.

Many new authors need a challenge in a supportive environment where they can feel comfortable discussing their work. A true success story begins with being courageous enough to put your skills in front of others. Our words are our children, so we need to understand that constructive criticism does not condemn, it helps us mold and grow out talents.
Seasoned published writers can fall into a rut. Contests such as this one channel their minds and talents in different directions, freshening their skills and pushing their boundaries. Our contests are open to anyone, not just members of SWW.

This year in addition to prose, poetry and non-fiction, SWW included two art categories. Most of the categories were reviewed by our professional team but three categories were adjudicated by the membership at large.
These stories and poems are fun, or sad, or factual, or surprising, many of them are all these things. Pay attention to the names of the authors-you will probably see them again!
