Writers participated here and there and everywhere in Portland the weekend of October 18 and 19, searching for clues and gripping their well-worn pens to meet the Sledgehammer Writing Contest’s 36-hour deadline. Ink & Paper Group was a proud sponsor of the event, participating as both a writing prompt stop as well as a contributor to the $3,000 in prizes.

Congratulations to Indigo Editing and Publications for a successful first-time event, and more of the same to all those robust writers and their words! We look forward to reading the winning story at Wordstock next weekend, and in the meantime, we offer a link to this Oregonian report on the event.
