May 2 - write fast!
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
'tis a nice amount of cash :)
That's a lot of prizes.
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.
I can only imagine the number of books that are going to be sent in! Great chance for the Indies.
Awesome list of prizes. Thanks for sharing.
