We are pleased to announce the third annual Writing Challenge offered through Aya Collective Publishing. Initially kicking off in 2024, this challenge is designed to help you meet your writing goals for the year. Whether your goal is to develop a journaling practice, start writing a book that you have been putting off for years, or finish your manuscript, this space is for you.
