The Exciting Announcement

Today could be a pivotal moment for aspiring writers everywhere!

Over the past week, both new and aspiring writers had the chance to apply for a life-changing sponsorship opportunity. Last weekend, Robert Ralph made headlines in the community with his incredible offer. He chose to fully sponsor one lucky individual to attend my Medium Kickstarter Boot Camp in February 2022, completely free of charge.

Witnessing the growth of writers is incredibly fulfilling, and those who have recently completed the course have been singing praises about Kristina's efforts. Robert Ralph received submissions from 14 talented writers eager to join the program. The contenders included:

• Scot Butwell
• Graham Cooke
• Kathy K
• John Rehg
• Love'Nia
• Renee Jean
• Elizabeth Glass
• Lucy Socha
• Bernie Pullen
• WrittenMastery
• Lucia Landini
• Kim MarkfromBoston
• M.J. Rausch
• Ruchi Gucci

Each writer expressed their motivations for wanting to participate in the Boot Camp and how it would benefit them.

Last night, we gathered for a Zoom meeting and quickly realized the decision would not be easy. After deliberating, we decided to take some time to think it over. A few hours later, Robert and I narrowed it down to three outstanding finalists. The competition was intense, but we ultimately had to make a choice.

In this video, I will unveil the winner—stay tuned!
