Guys, I just wanted to say that some of your entries for this month had me tearing up. I know that sounds cheesy, but it's true. It always brings me such a sense of wonder to see all these different people's takes on the same emotion, and to find unity in so many people's experiences.
So thank you so much for your entries. For the courage it takes to write so vulnerably, to give two random teenagers on the internet your beautiful poems every single month. We appreciate your entries so much.
Okay! On a more technical note, if you won, please comment which book of yours you want voted and commented on (if you got first place) and which book you'd like added to our reading list (for all places). And make sure to give the winners a follow, they're so amazing.
(Also, thanks so much for 10k on this book!!!)
Keep writing,
The admins of the Echo Awards.

Bloodshard: Stolen Magic (COMPLETE)
Magic cannot be given away or rejected; it is as permanent as life itself. Not that I'd know anything about that. Magic is both impossible to obtain and illegal for commoners like me. So when I unexpectedly witnessed a brutal, deadly confrontation between two nobles, I assumed that was the closest to magic I'd ever get. Until I woke up the next morning with the unmistakable glow of power in my blood. My only hope is to hide who I am and somehow discover the truth of what happened that bloody night. And, more importantly, why. ---- 2020 nanowrimo project and [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Completed March 2021
