Damn, that would be nice to win. Too bad I don't have any kids books ready and waiting.

I used to enter every year one or another of there contests. I think millions do. At least that's what I tell myself. LOL

I think that should be 'their' - gee maybe that's why I never placed. :)

Hi Donna! Nice of you to come out from hibernation to spread the news. I'd never enter a WD comp as I'm pretty sure they're biased towards the US which is fair enough. Still someone's got to win and I wish them well!

Hope all goes well with you!

Hi Donna - good to see you ... and letting, as Denise says, the US authors have a go ... I guess one has to get in the habit of entering competitions .. I must try and do that with some English ones ... cheers Hilary

It's good that someone's giving self-pubbed writers a chance to win something big and get some recognition. There's not enough of that from respected sources.
