Contest!

We are counting down the days to the release of the first lesson for Fiction Writing Essentials. Mindy Alyse Weiss is heading our contest where you can win a ten page novel critique or a picture book critique from Joyce Sweeney. If this contest receives more than 50 entries, a mystery grand prize will be revealed on Wednesday, when Mindy posts an interview with Joyce—and it will be a much larger critique than the one already listed! Please follow Mindy at either her blog or on Facebook to find out all the details so you might be the lucky winner.

You can enter the contest below. Don’t forget to click on the Invent Your Own Option buttons—they’ll allow you to add extra entries for signing up for Joyce’s free monthly newsletter, sharing information about this contest and Joyce’s new class on Facebook and other social media. Good luck!
