Writing Contest – Update and Age Correction
Carolyn, my volunteer secretary, has been slogging away for two days now at spreading the contest word in cyberspace. It’s exciting to see interest taking off! So today, I have news.
The correction first: though the old information slighted 14-year-olds dreadfully, they are in fact welcome to participate in the contest. The correct age categories are 11-13, 14-17, and 18 and up. Thanks to Dianne McLean of SHEA for bringing this to my attention!
And the update: we have a new prize! Felice Gerwitz has donated Book 1 of the Truth Seekers Mystery Series, The Missing Link: Found, which was written by Felice and her teenage daughter, Christina, to the prize pool. I’ll be posted more info about the book and its authors before long — in fact, I hope to interview them soon!
Hi! I have a question for the book review contest for 11- 13 yr. olds. My granddaughter who is 13 has been writing a book. Can she create a book review for it and enter it?
Please respond to the above email.
Thank you,
Pat Sleight
Hi Pat,
Certainly! Her chances of winning may be slimmer because the idea of the contest is to share what you have learned from another author, but we’ll be happy to feature the review on this blog. Also, she would be welcome to enter more than one review.
Blessings,
Rachel
