Fall is, by far, my most favorite time of the year! Shorter days, cooler weather, and a crispness in the air that I wish I could bottle up and save for next summer! But, the best part about fall is our WritersWeekly.com fall 24-hour short story contest…
This author wanted to move their book elsewhere after getting upset with his current publisher. That author admitted up front that the graphics in the book were pulled from the Internet without permission…
Thanks for the contest!! I will totally enjoy the book I won, BOOK PROPOSALS THAT WORKED! Real Book Proposals That Landed $10K – $100K Publishing Contracts.

I’d like to enter my daughter in the 24-hour contest. Can I do that?
EDITOR’S RESPONSE: If you want to enter your minor child in the contest, you will need to do so under your name. We can only work with the parents or guardians of children.

Hi,
Thanks for putting on the contest. They are always fun to write. I would like the Query Letters That Worked book.
Thanks,

Hi Angela!
Thanks so much! I’m thrilled and honored my story, “Stash,” received an Honorable Mention in the Summer 2014 24-Hour Short Story Contest. I used the link in the previous email to request my ebook prize, but just wanted to send you another “thank you” email as well. Hope you’re having a wonderful week!
Thanks again!
All my best,
Cristine

Thanks again,

I saw my name on the grab bag list for the summer contest. I’d like to get the ebook “A to Z on How to Write Science Fiction: a Study and Reference Guide” by Phil Lewis. Enjoyed the contest and looking forward to the next.

Angela,
Thanks again for an awesome contest! Even though I didn’t win (one of the top 3 prizes), that doesn’t mean I’m not going to try just as hard in the fall!
For my price, I’d like to request The Easy Way to Write and Sell Ebooks by Kristina Seleshanko.
Best,
Devon

Trawling through the web for websites that give you the opportunity to earn money writing about culture-related issues can be like trying to find a word in a manuscript…amongst a hundred pages.
I won a door prize in the last contest where I get to choose my prize. Can my “prize” be an entry fee for the next contest?
Dreaming of selling my writing and seeing my work published, I did what I thought needed to be done: I submitted…
We were in Georgia to attend the wedding of our friends Cole and Christy. This is the awesome wedding cake Ali made for them…
Are you thinking about participating in the 24-hour short story contest, but don’t know what to expect? Here’s how it works…
Hi Ang,
Here is an idea to pass along to my fellow BookLocker and Abuzz Press authors:
I held a drawing at my most recent book signing and the winner will get a minor character and a cameo appearance in the next Reporter novel in the series. The winner told me, “Make me young, thin, and pretty…and give me big boobs.” Heh. Furthermore, as a special bonus I also had the teaser to Book 2 on hand for attendees to read as a thank you for their attendance and loyalty.
Cheers and hugs!

When you chop down a dead tree, you don’t have to throw it all away when you’re finished. You can make use of the wood, and even the splinters.
In other words, if you are working on a major product – like writing a book – be alert for articles you can write and sell based on the research you’ve accumulated…
