| 6th Annual FundsforWriters Essay Contest Theme for 2007: Make Us Want to Be You!
FundsforWriters changes its theme each year. You have two topics to choose from in 2007, but they have one thing in common. Your assignment, if you choose to accept it, is to write in such an admiring way as to entice the rest of us to follow your lead. Impress us. MAKE US WANT TO BE YOU! We offer the same two categories - the FEE category and the NO FEE category. Many writers do not believe in paying while others have no contrary opinion about an entry fee. Here we offer both so everyone has a choice. This way no one has an excuse not to submit. If you cannot submit to this contest, you just don't like to write essays - period. We put you on no mailing list and you do not have to be a member of FundsforWriters to enter. Remember...this is an essay, a nonfiction entry. No fiction, no poetry, no writing about someone else. We want this to be all about YOU. Entries are welcome from any race, religion, gender or other diverse group. NABBW - Co-sponsor of the FFW Annual Essay Contest Theme Topics: 1. Promotional Plan. Come up with a promotional plan for your writing. Whether you are a copywriter or a romance novelist, a poet or a fantasy author, describe how you would promote your talent over a one-year period. Maybe you have a book coming out, or you've decided to grow your copywriting or editing business, or you manage a newsletter and want to expand your platform. What is your plan...and why? Remember, amaze us with your innovation, your drive, your creativity or your ambition. Make us want to be you! 2. One-Year to Write. You have a chance to write full-time. Someone's given you a grant to pay your bills, and your boss has decided to allow you a one-year sabbatical so you can capture that flighty muse and finally put her to work. What will you do with the gift of time? You now have your dream, so how will you use it efficiently and effectively? Make us want to be you! Prizes: ENTRY FEE Category
