Announcement from 1455 Press:
We are thrilled to announce that Melanie S. Hatter is the winner of the 2026 1455 books Contest for her novel, All The Pain We Endure.
From the moment we read Melanie’s manuscript, we knew it was something special. We are honored to welcome her to the growing family of 1455 books authors.
All The Pain We Endure will be published by 1455 books later this year. We look forward to sharing more about the novel—including its cover, release date, and preorder information—in the months ahead.
This year’s contest drew an overwhelming number of thoughtful and powerful submissions from writers around the world. The depth of talent made selecting a single winner extraordinarily difficult. As writers and editors ourselves, we know the courage it takes to share creative work, and we are deeply grateful to every author who entrusted us with their manuscripts. We were inspired by the quality of the writing and humbled by the opportunity to read so many remarkable stories.
To everyone who entered, thank you. We hope you’ll continue to be part of the 1455 community by following us on social media, subscribing to our Substack, and keeping in touch about future opportunities.
Please join us in congratulating Melanie S. Hatter on this well-deserved achievement. We can’t wait for readers to discover All The Pain We Endure later this year.
