Author/Editor Kathy Ide

Want to go to a writer's conference, but when you open the ol' wallet, moths fly out? Have I found a dealio for you!

Kathy Ide is sponsoring a contest (no fee required) that will choose one lucky author wannabe to win a full scholarship to the Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference. I've never had the privilege of attending this one, but many of my writerly buddies have...and it's highly recommended.

All you need to do is send in the first 5 pages of an unpublished book manuscript, fiction or non-fiction, of any genre here.

But before you submit, definitely read the full details here.

The deadline is January 31st, so why not give it a whirl? You've still got a week or two to polish up your beginning and send it off. Who knows? Maybe you'll be the winner!

And if you are, let me know. I'll seriously put on a cheerleading outfit and rah-rah for you on a Fun Friday vlog.
