“Six students were honored at the Jan. 10 meeting of Napa Valley Writers. Honorable mention went to Paola Machuca, Dariya Stuter and Ally Peterson. First- second- and third-place winners were Fernando Cisneros, Shaelynn Sublett and Olivia Ilsley.”
The students won cash prizes of $100, $75, and $50. The club hopes to make this contest an annual event and to expand to other schools in the future.
Editor’s note: Last fall, author Lenore Hirsch contacted the Register with a question: If the Napa Valley Writers, a branch of the California Writers Club, held a student writing contest, would we be interested in publishing the winning essays?
