Writing Contests: Stir Your Tea and Lulu
Time for a contest that will blow your mind

Prizes: professional critiques, signed books, and money for books ($100 Amazon gift card for first place). In 500 words or less, amuse me. Write our bestie-story. Fake, fantasy, anything goes. As long as it's not dirty. C'mon people. A million extra points if you use the words pterodactyl, arrowhead, laptop or esophagus. So, basically, you just write the story. You have a little over one week. Contest closes Monday, May 24. So what are you waiting for? Write our bestie-love-story for your chance to win. (More information HERE.)
