Well, you've all worked for it, and here it is. The final group of shortlisted authors and their entries after three rounds of judging and three months of writing. Who will be in the Top 5? Who will be crowned our Grand Winner?

If you don't see your name in the list below, don't feel blue. You're still a champion for beating the writing challenge, and even more so now you've got a 20,000+ word novella on Wattpad you can share, expand, polish, and be proud of.

Every entry has been read, discussed, and scored by our wonderfully talented judges. We've even been excited to see how your stories have grown and developed each round.

So thank you all once again for the taking the time to get involved in the first ever novella contest of its kind on Wattpad and for getting creative. If you hit 20,000 words, theis yours to claim.
