In spelling bees, there can only be one winner. When one person wins the national spelling bee, thousands lose. But what if screwing up a word gave a person much more to say?

In this book, 33 writers share their uncensored stories of misspelled words and the perspectives they gained from the experience. From TV comedy writers to former public school teachers, these essayists are not just word nerds, but well-rounded humans working to better their corner of the world.
