Give it a shot. You never know…
Sounds intriguing – thanks 🙂
Margot, I agree. I’m thinking about submitting one of my manuscripts, just to see what happens.
Hi Tammy. You’re most welcome.
awesome! thanks for the info!!
Pat – Oh, thanks for this info! It sounds like a great opportunity.
Alex, you’re the busiest person I know.
Hi Teresa — Feel free to spread the word. The Sandy is a highly respected contest (and totally unrelated to Hurricane Sandy who was just plan mean).
Julie, I lived in Colorado for ten years before I even heard of the conference, much less the contest. It’s one of Colorado’s best kept secrets (although I hope to spoil that).
Well. I’ve been in Gunnison (just south of CB) for 19 years and never knew this group existed– although I knew about the annual conference. I don’t know if I’ll be able to be a part of the contest this year, but I sure can get involved. Thank you!
Thanks for this, Patricia! I won’t have anything ready to go, but know a few who might. How’s your weather? Winter usually reaches you much earlier than it arrives here. 🙂
Busy with edits at the moment!
