The winners of the third annual Write the Hook Contest sponsored by the Hamilton Wenham Public Library have officially been declared!
Twenty Write the Hook stories were submitted to the teen story writing contest at the end of December. The contest was open to teens in grades 6 to 12, who are residents of Essex County in Massachusetts. Teens entering the contest were required to write the start of a story, “the hook,” to create interest in reading further.
