Announcing the Sufi and the Mystical Moon Contest results
Contest Name:
Sufi and the Mystical Moon Writing Contest 2023
Date:
30/08/23
All of the works in this anthology have given me a singular pleasure to read. No work was like another, and the connection I have felt with every writer, every poet, while reading it, is indescribable.
The themes of this book rest on two paradigms – and to find threads of connections of these two themes in the works was an incredibly gratifying task. I hope that every writer who contributed to this process, and took the time to share their stories, feelings and thoughts can also derive the same pleasure out of seeing their work on page, and perhaps, out of reading the works alongside them.
It was an emotional journey – going through the entries – and picking a winner out of these exquisite works was an almost impossible task.
I wish the best to every writer out there. I hope this reaches every writer, not just the ones who contributed to this, but also to anyone who is chasing their inspiration. I wish the best to everyone who contributed!
Warm regards,
Mrunal Rajadhyaksha
