A scholarship program from Penguin Random House, the Creative Writing Awards are focused on encouraging the next generation of diverse and unique voices. We Need Diverse Books began partnering with Penguin Random House in 2019 on the CWAs, which distribute $50,000 in scholarships each year. Five students receive $10,000 each in these categories: fiction / drama, personal essay, the Amanda Gorman Award for Poetry, and the Maya Angelou Award for Spoken Word. There is also a New York City entrant award, in recognition of the Creative Writing Awards previously being centered on New York City.
Read the 2022 winning entries here, along with a selection of honorable mention submissions. For more on the Creative Writing Awards go here: https://social-impact.penguinrandomhouse.com/our-awards/u-s-creative-writing-awards/

She bore the pain with a smile, accepting the harshness, but when they finally left her behind, it broke her. Shattered, yet not defeated, she found strength in her faith, trusting in God to guide her through the pain. Just when it seemed like she had reached her breaking point, her life took a sudden turn. She was adopted by a towering, intimidating man. Shivendra Rathore, a ruthless businessman, once the feared Mafia King known as SR, was a force to be reckoned with. A man who was the father of five boys, each one intimidating, cold, and aggressive. Will Ruhanika be able to change their hearts? Will she be the one to melt the tough exterior of these devils? Will she ever find the true family she's longed for? Follow Ruhanika's journey as she learns that family isn't defined by blood, but by the heart. A story of love, transformation, and finding where you truly belong. "𝓐 𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓸𝓯 𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓯𝓲𝓷𝓭𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓯𝓪𝓶𝓲𝓵𝔂 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓲𝓷 𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓽 𝔀𝓱𝓲𝓬𝓱 𝓭𝓸𝓮𝓼𝓷'𝓽 𝓹𝓾𝓶𝓹 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓪𝓶𝓮 𝓫𝓵𝓸𝓸𝓭 𝓪𝓼 𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓮" - 𝐑𝐮𝐡𝐚𝐧

Watter-Boys (TAWOG x M!Reader Insert V1)
Y/n Watterson, the eldest child of Nicole and Richard Watterson, brings it with a grateful title of never-ending babysitting of his two idiotic brothers and a socially awkward sister. Between Darwin's over-the-top helpfulness, Gumball's nonstop chaos, and Anais's horrifying genius, Y/n wouldn't even have time to think, let alone have his social life. This is the first volume of the story because Wattpad only limits the chapters to 200. This fanfic is mainly inspired by StardustMaster. The art cover is created by Blazbo628, with an edit by yours truly. Season 1: [FINISHED] Season 2: [FINISHED] Season 3: [FINISHED]Complete
