The Writer Mama Riffs

I had so much fun judging the WD contest for writer mamas and papas that we decided to launch a fun, easy, small-fee contest as a fundraiser for Writers on the Rise.

The reason? I’m allergic to ads. Don’t want ‘em in my zine or on my blog. At least not for the time being. So, Sage Cohen, WOTR managing editor and I put our heads together and this is what we came up with—an awesome, exciting, motivating contest that we hope will galvanize our readers to produce, produce, produce this summer.

I know I plan on writing my buns off this summer. How about you? And in that same vein, I’ll have more tips on writing and submitting the type of articles that are suggested in section two of Writer Mama and in my class, Writing and Publishing the Short Stuff.

So if you need some motivation to be more prolific this summer, enter our contest. You may do so as many times as you like. And then submit those puppies!

In the meantime, I’d like to hear from you. What questions do you have about writing and submitting short pieces for publication? I’ll answer one a week, all summer long.

Speaking of “clean up”…back to cleaning my office! Whew. What a mess…
