DEAR TEEN ME: The Contest. (Warning: EPIC prizes!)This journal comes to you from `PinkyMcCoversong!DEAR TEEN ME: The Contest. (Warning: EPIC prizes!) by ^Beccalicious
So you might have heard of this little book I co-edited called DEAR TEEN ME. It's an anthology of letters from authors to their teen selves. The authors in the anthology range from best-selling and award-winning authors to some fabulous up and comers. I know that no matter what, if you pick up the book, you'll find a letter or two (at least!) that speaks to you.This is our fancy Amazon/Goodreads/B&N/Book Depository/Pick-your-bookseller blurb:
DEAR TEEN ME includes advice from over 70 YA authors to their teenage selves. The letters cover a wide range of topics, including physical abuse, body issues, bullying, friendship, love, and enough insecurities to fill an audit
The War Story ContestThe 2012 War Story ContestThe War Story Contest by =doughboycafe
"What you learned at West Point doesn't apply here, Lieutenant. But what you do here will be taught at West Point."
Welcome to the first official (possibly annual) War Story Contest run by yours truly with the help of the generous and clever ~CJWilde, and in conjunction with #crit-eek !What Is It?
The War Story Contest is a literature only contest that is open to all of DeviantArt. If you can write and submit to dA, you can participate here.
What is the point of making a contest about war? I want to see people write about it, how it affects people, from the home front to the front lines, I want to see us all explore it and take it apart and live in it. The more we know about it the better a chance we all have of avoiding it.
They are simple. The theme is: War. Any war. All wars. Specific wars. We don't care. The war doesn't even have to be the center of the story, just as long
Interview With an Admin1. Hi ~CJWilde! You've been selected for our second staff interview for #Love-Literature!Interview With an Admin by #Love-Literature
Why, thank you! I'm honoured. I promise to act completely normal.
2. What made you want to become an admin for #Love-Literature, and what does your role entail?
It was actually the first group I joined in the literature community. I didn't realise what an admin was back then; I just asked =AimeeRaindrop if she needed any help with the group, and I was thrown into the deep end.
Nowadays I have a pretty good grasp of 'group stuff', so as well as voting on submissions I help run contest projects and support Aimee when she needs it!
3. You are an admin for various other groups, are you not? Can you tell us a little about the other groups you help out?
All of them?
Let's see. I vote on submissions for #writeaway, I'm a contest judge over at ~WeeklyLitContests, I critique members' work at ~Two-Points, I help run community-wide projects at
Sta.sh
