Congratulations to Jin Fernbacher, Class of 2023, on 2nd place in the Spencertown Academy Young Writers’ Contest for her story, “Last Warning.?” Here’s what the judges had to say about her work:
“This clever and confident writer understands the elements of story, and makes an off-putting subject a page turner. The narrator is the very self-aware villain of the piece, open about her psychology, able to manipulate the mother and get away with her mistreatment of her sister. The controlled, darkly wry narrative builds to a point of high tension, ending in surprise. Excellent writing.”
