Fellow writers! The 8 on Eight contest window is OPEN!
Q: I must have missed the announcement. What is 8 on Eight?
A monthly contest that provides one lucky kidlit writer with feedback on their opening eight lines! As part of our ongoing mission to support writers, we’ll give a PB, CB, MG, or YA writer feedback on their work from at least 8 of The Winged Pen’s contributors.
Q: Sounds exciting! How do I enter?
To enter, simply comment at the bottom of this post! At 8pm (EST) on the last day of October, one winner will be randomly drawn from the Triwizard Cup. The winner will be notified and given 24 hours to submit his or her opening eight lines. On the eighth of the month, the winner’s eight lines, along with the title and genre of the work, will be posted to our blog with feedback from at least 8 of our members. Still have questions? See our 8 on Eight page for additional details.
Remember, the contest window is only open until 8pm EST on November 1st, so don’t wait––enter now!
Best of luck! (And please help spread the word!)
