FREELANCE SUCCESS STORIES CONTEST

... Announcement quoted from email

While December is definitely a time for working out next year's writing resolutions, it is also turning into a time for you to share your freelance writing success stories with Writer's Market for an opportunity to win some recognition and money. Once again, I'll be judging the free Writer's Market Freelance Success Stories contest with a first prize of $250, plus publication in the 2009 Writer's Market and a copy of the book.

What I'm looking for are true stories of freelance success in any discipline of writing -— from nonfiction to fiction and from screenwriting to poetry. Try to keep the story between 800 and 1,500 words, and remember the deadline is December 31.

• You can submit your success stories to writersmarket@fwpubs.com.
• Please put "Freelance Success Stories Contest" in your subject line.
