"I was giving a significant bonus from my largest client after they stated that I was the most productive freelance writer they had on their team in the past five years. Although it was not an official award per se, it felt great to receive recognition for my hard work and talent."

As a writer, there are numerous awards, contests, and competitions to which you can enter your work. Maybe you have been recognized for your work within your own organization, rather than being externally praised for your work. Think of any times that you have earned recognition for exceptional writing. It may feel strange, but it's okay to brag about yourself just a little bit here!

"I recently submitted a short story to the Imaginary Fiction Writers' Association and earned second place out of over 2,000 submissions. The story I submitted addressed essential issues related to gentrification but offered a comedic twist. I am very proud of this story and included it in my application to your agency."
