Winner Twins' photostream

Identical twin sisters Brianna and Brittany Winner were born 11 weeks premature and spent the early years of their lives in and out of hospitals. At an early age they faced the harsh reality of dyslexia. They fell in love with science fiction books and super hero comics. To escape exhaustion and struggles at school, they began to create worlds, characters, and adventures.
In fourth grade their learning disabilities began to take a toll on their self confidence and self esteem. They defined themselves by their disabilities and limitations rather than their abilities. Their father stepped in and reassured them they were talented, intelligent, and extremely capable. He recognized their story telling abilities and told them that if they focused on their strengths and their passion for storytelling, they could do the impossible, write a novel. They combined their love of comic books, adventure stories, and science fiction and with the help of their father began writing a book. They finished their first novel at twelve years old.
The novel The Strand Prophecy won numerous awards including Best Adolescent Fiction, making them the Youngest Multiple Award Winning Authors in America. At thirteen years old their book was distributed nationally in all Barnes and Nobles stores. The twins regularly attended book signings, book fairs, comic cons and industry trade shows. At 14 years old the Winner Twins opened a nonprofit company “Motivate 2 Learn”. Through their tour entitled “If You Can Dream It… You Can Write It!” they have spoken to over 100,000 students. They inspire students to read, write and to overcome any obstacles they may face in order to achieve their dreams.
Now in tenth grade the Winner Twins have completed four novels, a screen play, comic book and writing book entitled “The Winner Twins Secret Writing Method”.
The first two novels in The Strand series are released, the third Strand novel and the first novel of a new series entitled PCT are planned to be released in 2012.
They have been written about and interviewed in numerous print publications, radio, and television shows airing on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Wall Street Journal and AOL front page and many more.
The Winner Twins were recognized by The World Council of Gifted and Talented Children as prodigies.
Brittany and Brianna’s hobbies include cooking, cake baking and decorating, doing yoga, watching movies and reading.
Look for the Winner Twins featured in the upcoming TV series entitled “Young Icons” on the CW.
