Contests and Challenges / Re: Vivian Kirkfield's 50 Precious Words
« Last post by Vijaya on February 07, 2023, 09:38 AM »
All is good, Julie. Thank you. I was away for most of Advent and Christmas to care for my brother and although I'm home now, not finding it easy to get back into a writing rhythm. Too many distractions. But contests and challenges help. I might need to do another Jumpstart program: https://store.juliannabaggott.com/

Thanks Julie. It's exactly the kind of contest I need to get back into writing. Longish hiatus...long story. But this looks like fun.
Hoping all is well , Vijaya. Yes, this genre is both exciting and challenging. Good luck!

If you scroll down, there is a post title that mentions winners. I didn't look at the full post though. I totally missed the line with "Read More" at the bottom left.

This looks very intriguing. Is there a site showing past entries or winners?


I'm not sure - if you browse the website link you may find some. Or you could ask Vivian herself on Twitter if you are on there. Search #50PreciousWords there and you'll find her.

Hi Debbie,

Thanks for the info.

I plan on self publishing. I’m paying for two round of editing. The first round is for copy editing. Out of the five editors I reached out to, she was so excited about my book. We hit it off and I feel comfortable with her. I will consider your suggestions regarding an illustrator. I make try doing this myself and see how it goes.

Take, care,

Cathy
