A big shout-out to our friend Maggie Watson, who has been named Author of the Month for August 2025 at Spillwords Press. Maggie’s poem, “Holy Communion,” garnered the award, her second monthly win this year (she was also awarded Publication of the Month for April 2025 at Spillwords Press). I’m delighted for her. It couldn’t have happened to a kinder, more wonderful person, and I’m so proud of her. Here’s wishing Maggie the best of luck in the year-end annual awards at Spillwords Press, where she’ll be a candidate in two categories. Yes, good things can, indeed, happen to good people. 😊
You can visit Maggie’s blog at Ephemeral Encounters.
