TALES2INSPIRE Contest

Non-fiction stories in any format written with an uplifting, thought provoking or touching message.

MAXIMUM LENGTH: 1200 WORDS

DEADLINE DATE: FEBRUARY 29, 2012

ENTRANCE FEE: $4.95 per story, per category

AUTHOR BENEFITS: The following two benefits, which are normally reserved exclusively for published authors, will also be available to non-published (aspiring authors) who take part in this contest through special liaisons I have made under the TALES2INSPIRE BANNER.

Each author submitting an inspiring “tale” accepted into this contest will have the opportunity to showcase it on novelist and host, Sylvia Massara’s Internet video LitChic Show (short for Literary Chic, not Chic Lit), where Sylvia has committed to a bi-monthly TALES2INSPIRE program to feature every contributing author.

Lois and Sylvia just went live to kick off the Tales2Inspire contest, so you might want to watch this video intro for more details:

A second new feature comes as a result of a liaison Lois has formed with award winning author, teacher and marketing guru Carolyn Howard-Johnson. Each author with an inspiring “tale” accepted into this contest will have the opportunity to have a review of their story placed on her popular book review blog under the Tales2Inspire banner

Contest Guidelines, 'how-to's' and 'what if's' are detailed on the tales2inspire website:

You are welcome to contact me at: tales2inspire@optimum.net, but please understand that depending on volume of inquiries, it might take me several days to respond.
