A Great Opportunity to Showcase Your Writing Talents for FREE

Carolyn Howard-Johnson shares writers’ resources on her award-winning blog Sharing with Writers

Twelve years ago I created Tales2inspire®, an “Authors Helping Authors”  worldwide project/contest for writers seeking more recognition for their talents. It’s an Authors Helping Authors project because each author whose story makes it through phase one, becomes a mentor/anonymous judge to three other such authors. (But don’t be intimidated. I provide you with a click, click, click automated judging form - screenshot below), that includes a place for you to add any suggestions you have for strengthening that story.) 

Tales2inspire® is also a contest, but one with no entry fees. And if your story makes it through to publication, you get lots of FREE PR to help you brand yourself as an author of talent. All you need is some writing skills, a bit of energy and an inspiring story to share. 

If you think Tales2Inspire® might be for you, here are two things I suggest you do to help you succeed:

• CLICK INFO above, (or copy and paste https://www.tales2inspire.com/contest-2 into your browser) for all details. 

• CLICK BOOK COVER above, (or copy and paste https://www.tales2inspire.com/gifts into your browser) for a free sampler of seven stories published in past Tales2Inspire® collections, to give you a sense of the type stories that have been past winners.

• The screenshot above is a small image of the T2I judging form, but for a full size view,  CLICK HERE (or copy and paste https://tales2inspire.com/contest/judging/       into your browser.)

If you have further questions, I’m only an email away: [email protected]  

Just put “T2I contest question” in the subject line.
