Announcing with Winners of the Dressing with Jane Austen Contest

In July, Jane Austen & Co. hosted our first creative writing contest on the theme of "Dressing with Jane Austen." We challenged participants to imagine their morning as Jane Austen heroines: What would they wear? What would they do after getting dressed? 

All of the entries were fantastic, but our judges, including Hilary Davidson, were especially delighted by a few. We are pleased to announce the winners of our contest. Watch the blog in the coming days to read the winning entries.
