And Eat Your Vegetables
Some friendly reminders for your Saturday morning.
— The Texas Observer Short Story Contest ends Sunday, May 1st, so get your stories in this week. See guidelines and enter here. The short version: 2,500 words or less, no theme, genre, or residential restrictions (i.e., you don’t have to write about Texas or live in Texas), and our guest judge is Larry McMurtry (Lonesome Dove).
Your contribution of $25 goes to supporting the Observer. The winner receives $1,000 and publication in our Summer Books Issue and (if he’s so inclined) a brief writeup from Mr. McMurtry.
Email any/all questions to me.
— Also only one week left to take advantage of WriteByNight’s April discounts, which include $30 off any manuscript critique/consult. Also note that if you follow us on Facebook and Twitter, you can receive an extra $10 off any WBN service. And for those of you who already do that, make sure to mention this to us.
— April’s WriteByNighter of the Month wins a free trial membership, good for three months ($90 value). How do you win? Simply drop your name in the box every time you visit WBN HQ for Write Here or Meet Here.
