Watch Me Bounce is pleased to announce the winners for our debut “Resilience” Writing Contest. We received scores of submissions from around the world, and were introduced to many passionate writers with important stories to tell. Below you’ll find our picks for first place fiction story, first place true life story and first place poem. Accompanying each winner is a Critique conducted by the Editors of Watch Me Bounce and the contest judges.

We congratulate the three winners and thank all the writers for submitting. There were many entrants with great stories to share but unfortunately we could pick only one winner for each category.

Contest Judges: Linda Penhall (Fiction, True Stories); Charles Brooks III (Poetry); and Rocky Reichman (Fiction, True Stories).
