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

    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!

    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.
