Two Contests for January

Posted by admin

Okay, so I said there would be a contest after Christmas, and I meant it.  In fact, there are going to be TWO contests for the month of January.

Contest #1 –

This one is for members of my e-newsletter.  If you haven’t already signed up, you can do so on any page of this site (click here to visit the homepage if you’re reading this in a feed reader) and putting your email into the box on the right-hand side of the page.  At the end of January, I’ll be randomly selecting an email from the list and that person will receive their choice of a $15 Amazon gift certificate or…

Portable MFA in Creative Writing – According to the description, it gives you “the core knowledge of a prestigious $50,000 MFA program without paying tuition.”

Contest #2 –

This contest is for anyone who submits a piece based on a prompt here on the blog (during the month of January…including those who have already done so).  You get one entry per submission, so feel free to go crazy with the different prompts if you want.  You can submit your pieces in a couple of ways:

  • Paste it into the comments for that prompt
  • Post it to your blog or website and then let us know in the comments (either through a trackback or just manually saying something)

I’ll randomly pick 5 submissions and then readers can vote on their favorite from that list.  The winner will get either a $15 Amazon gift certificate or…

You Can Write a Novel Kit – The goal of this book is to help you take the bits and pieces that are floating around in your mind and put them together to create a full-length novel.
