Thank you for submitting to Joy of the Pen!

Thank you so much for talking part in Joy of the Pen this year. We are pleased to announce that this has been the biggest one yet with over 80 entrants.

Today we have notified the winners of the competition so if you haven’t heard from us then we are very sorry and we encourage you to submit again next year.

Our judges have had a very tough job this year, and every one of them said that it was extremely difficult to pick only 2 winners in each category.

We would LOVE to see you all at the reception on Saturday at 1pm, to celebrate all the writers in the competition and not just the winners. There will be snacks! Directions to the library are here: topshamlibrary.org/about-us/directions. Please keep watching joyofthepen.topshamlibrary.org for news and to read the winners’ work. If you have any more questions about Joy of the Pen, please email me at emma@topshamlibrary.org.
