New Book! And a contest too!!
Hallo"The Writing Contest Expert's Guide to Fiction Contests" is here! With more than 200 contests listed under categories as diverse as flash, short fiction, genre, novels, short fiction collections, and even humor and personal essays I think I've put my 5 years as Contest Correspondent for "Writer Online" to good use.
The remaining titles in the series "Poetry Contests", "Contests for Younger Writers" (which will be free to download), "Stage and Screen Contests", "Non-Fiction Contests" and "The Bumper Book of Contests" will arrive in 2008.
As always feel free to post comments or reviews on any of my writing. Details of the current contest are pasted below.
Happy Writing!
Grace
