There were a lot of really good poems this month, I know we always say that but it is genuinely true. It's so cool to be able to connect with the larger Wattpad poetry community this way and get to know all of the amazing people who enter our contests every month. We see you, we appreciate you, and we love being able to watch you grow as writers!

Okay, sappy stuff aside: claim your prize by telling us which book you want votes and comments on (for first place), or which book you want added to our reading list first, (second and third place) in the comments if you haven't already received a PM about that.

And whether or not you won, if you would like to reach out for detailed, personalized feedback on your piece for this month, just fire us a PM, we would be happy to help you!

Keep writing,

The admins of The Echo Awards
