I am excited to announce that I will be writing another Insider’s Guide to the Scripps National Spelling Bee! In March, I won the regional bee sponsored by the Louisville Spelling Bee Collaborative to qualify for the 2017 Scripps National Spelling Bee.  I am looking forward to returning to Washington D.C. for the fourth time to compete at the national level.

For the last two years, I have written a series of posts detailing Bee Week and my personal experience and I would love to do the same this year. I hope you all enjoy reading my Insider’s Guide to the 2017 Scripps National Spelling Bee.

This year, there will be 291 spellers from across the United States and abroad competing at the National Spelling Bee; I am speller #207.
