This sounds like a great opportunity! Thanks for posting.

Do you have to have Twitter to participate?

Thanks, Elaine. You don't have to be on Twitter to participate.

I do share a lot of info on Twitter, plus tips and teasers as the judges and I go through the entries...and there's a daily discussion prompt there, but you enter through a Google form.

I do have a Facebook group to share reminders, info, and right now groups are forming for genre-oriented ranking parties to help participants figure out which manuscript to enter. Here's a link, if you're interested (but FB isn't required either). https://www.facebook.com/groups/689893392456709

Thank you, Mindy! I will look into the Facebook group. I ditched Twitter a while ago, but I still have FB for now. :-)
