What are some causes you care about?
A cause that is dear to my heart is organ and tissue donation. My father died unexpectedly when I was 19, and saved and improved the lives of many other people through his gift of organ donation. I always encourage my family and friends to consider registering to be an organ donor- you can register online nowadays very easily.

My desert island book is The Orenda by Joseph Boyden
What advice would you give potential writers/entrants to this contest?
Enjoy the writing process! Sit, think, reflect and sip tea. Let your memories and reflections flow through you naturally. Your story is already amazing; because it is yours!
