CONTEST! Okay, I don't normally post on Sunday. And I don't normally shout out contests. But I am entering this one and part of the deal is that you post it to your blog. So, if you are not a writer of memoir or Non-fiction I understand if you click away at this point. I'll see you Monday? :)
For everyone else: Win a free critique of the first 25 pages of your memoir or work of Narrative non-fiction.

ReplyDeleteMemoir is not my thing, but good luck to you. Also I like your hair. Sometimes I wish I could cut all mine off, but I'm afraid it will make my body look even bigger. It does look nice and cool though.
ReplyDeleteGood luck my friend!

Well technically speaking it's not a writer's comp, but I'll give it a little plug anyway if that's okay ... Footprints magazine is looking for a cover image for their 50th issue cover, a real Aussie woman loving life who shines with the love of Jesus. Great prizes too! Entries close 28/02/10. Full details on the Footprints blog at http://footprintsaustralia.com/blog, entry dated 1 January 2010.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the very best of luck! You certainly have all the talent you need, and in spades.
