This anthology collects the eleven winners of the 2018 Best American Newspaper Narrative Writing Contest at the Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference, an event hosted by the Frank W. Mayborn Graduate Institute of Journalism at the University of North Texas.

First place winner: Kale Williams, The Loneliest Polar Bear (The Oregonian), relates the tale of Nora, a baby polar bear raised by humans in a zoo after being abandoned by her mother.
Second place: Patricia Callahan, Doomed by Delay (Chicago Tribune), reveals the experiences of Illinois families with children diagnosed with Krabbe--a deadly disease that healthcare professionals could have screened for at birth, and ultimately treated, if it weren't for government bureaucracy.
Third place: Christopher Goffard, Dirty John (Los Angeles Times), is an investigative story that explores the dynamics of domestic violence with a nuanced, psychologically complex narrative of family and survival.
Runners-up include John Woodrow Cox, Twelve Seconds of Gunfire (The Washington Post); Tom Hallman Jr., His Heart, Her Hands (The Oregonian); Jenna Russell, The Last Refugee (The Boston Globe); Lisa Gartner and Zachary T. Sampson, Wrong Way (Tampa Bay Times); Casey Parks, About a Boy (The Oregonian); Jennifer Emily, Hope for the Rest of Us (The Dallas Morning News); Kent Babb, There's Nowhere to Run (The Washington Post); and Lane DeGregory, The House on the Corner (Tampa Bay Times).
