WOW! Women on Writing Quarterly Writing Contest

The WOW! Women on Writing Quarterly Writing Contest: Fall 2007 Essay Contest sponsored by skirt! Books has just been posted on their fabulous web site.

Word Count:

Minimum 800

Maximum 1,200

Prompt:

Describe a time in your life when you overheard a conversation, or found a lucky item on the ground (coin, jewelry, other), or discovered something that wasn’t intended for your eyes (mail, letter, photos, or other). Write about this “chance” event and describe what it brought to you: good or bad luck, serendipity, a missed opportunity, or karma. This is a nonfiction essay, but be descriptive enough so your readers can see the event through your eyes.

Story slant: Geared toward women readers, light-hearted to funny, imaginative, creative—you get it--*original*.

C. Hope Clark from Funds for Writers is the guest judge.

Complete rules and entry information can be found at WOW! Women on Writing Contest.

Hi Julia,

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I may have never known yours existed if you hadn't!

Hi Julia,

Thanks for posting this for us. We're super thrilled about this contest because we have such a terrific sponsor!

I couldn't imagine a better fit for WOW! than Globe Pequot's skirt! books. They have been an amazing contact. The women they publish through the imprint are very inspirational.

I can't help but mentioning how moved I was by Kris Carr's book, Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips... that woman has a remarkable spirit and a great outlook. If your readers are interested, they can see the interview here: http://www.wow-womenonwriting.com/13-inspiration.html

This is just a sample of what skirt! publishes, and we're happy to be a part of that. ;-)

Also, I love your blog - it's beautiful! You did a fabulous job and I plan to visit more often, love!

Big hugs to you,

Angela
