WriteOnCon
This free online children's writers conference will be held Aug. 16 – 18. The conference offers hourly events including live chats, blog posts, and videos created by agents, editors, and authors in children's publishing.
The curriculum is focused on picture book, middle grade, and young adult writers. However, much of the information provided applies to all writers, and many of the publishing professionals who participate cross over. To register or get more information, goto writeoncon.com.
If you missed last year's WriteOnCon, the videos and audios are available here: http://writeoncon.com/about/schedule/
The Road of Eerie Deadline Sept. 15, 2011
Somewhere in a sleepy town or a hectic city or a vibrant field or a shaded wood... lies an old road, a neglected road, a downright eerie road. But on Halloween—the eeriest day of the year—it will become a rediscovered road. And your protagonist will never be the same. What's the story?
No entry fee to submit a short story (1,000 words max.) electronically. Attachments accepted. Only one story per author. Open to writers worldwide. Your story must not have been previously published.
The prize is $100 and publication in The Verb.

ReplyDeleteAlso, I appreciate all the "heads-ups" you provide on your blog. You are good at finding out about and advertising so many useful contests, submission opportunities, etc.
Is a secret how you find out all of this info? :)
