Junior Author’s Nonfiction Work Takes First Place in National Competition

This past summer, Columbia College Chicago named Meilan Steimle, grade 11, the first-place winner in the nonfiction category in its Young Authors national writing competition. The competition has been held since 1995, initially as a regional contest, with CCC faculty as judges. It later went national and has since received tens of thousands of entries. Steimle was awarded $300 for her winning submission, titled “Differentiating Equations,” which will be published on the Young Authors Writing Competition website.
