The David Ruggles Prize sounds like such a meaningful opportunity for writers—it’s always inspiring to see initiatives that celebrate creativity and critical thinking. Preparing submissions for something like this can be a bit daunting, especially if it involves crafting essays or commentary pieces. I remember struggling with structure and tone when writing similar pieces, but I found resources like https://99papers.com/self-education/how-to-write-a-commentary-essay/ incredibly useful. It’s great for breaking down the process into manageable steps, which is super helpful when you’re aiming to make your work stand out in a competitive setting.
