Craft Chat Wilber and Niso Smith New Writer Comp

[Pamela Jo]

If you have a finished manuscript of an adventure type then this is a good contest for you. Last year it looks like they considered more historical and magic realism sort of adventures. A friend won it with her family story of evading Japanese soldiers in the Philippines during WW2.

Their website has some nice writing tips from former winners.

A tech glitch...the link didn't work for me, but googling did. *shrug*

Oh, one of our Pop Up guests won this too. I remember critiquing his beginning before he won, I knew him on Australian forum and years later learned he's my best friend's mum's cousin. Small world.

Beautiful feel of Australia around the 1850s gold rush.
