Contest Results:
Drumroll, please! To celebrate the release of Girl Meets Boy, Kelly Milner Halls stopped by Wattpad for a love-themed writing contest. Kelly and the folks at Chronicle Books were blown away by how many people entered the contest—and how superb the entries were. After the contest closed, Kelly snagged a Super BigGulp of classic Pepsi and studied all the scenes carefully. It was very hard, but she selected one grand-prize winner and four runners-up.
Congratulations to our grand-prize winner: Arielle Andrews! Her version of Raffina’s story was gripping and evocative. Arielle also managed to give the scene a lot of backstory—not easy to do with a very tight word limit.
Also, please join us in congratulating the following Wattpadders, who are the four runners-up.
