Nationwide — Writers’ Row Publishing House, a growing indie-book publisher, is excited to announce the launch of its first-ever creative writing competition, The Writers Cypher. The contest offers a dynamic platform for wordsmiths to showcase their talent and join a supportive community.
Where the Page Becomes the Stage: About The Writers Cypher
The Writers Cypher is a three-round competition open to writers in two categories: Poetry and Short Stories. The contest is designed to be a “creative battleground” that elevates emerging voices while allowing creative writers to compete for a share of a $2,500 prize pool.
Contestants can register for the competition by visiting www.thewriterscypher.com to submit their poem or short story along with a $20 entry fee by November 30, 2025. The grand prize for the two winners (one from each category) is $1,000, with two runners-up receiving $250 each.
A One-of-a-Kind Creative Writing Battle
Inspired by the raw energy of a hip-hop cypher, this contest challenges creative writers to showcase their talents in a head-to-head format, where rhythm, flow, and storytelling will determine the top wordsmiths. More than just a contest, this event builds a vibrant community where writers will compete through public voting in the Battle Write Round, putting the power in the hands of the audience to decide who moves forward to the final round. Writers who wish to enter must do so by the First Submission Round deadline.
