Rebecca,
I was sent a link to your contest by a fellow writer in the Write Right Writer’s Group. I entered my name and email on the contest form as directed, but I was unable to see where or how to send my first page.
What do I do?
Thank you
Hi Mike,
How the contest works is you enter your name and email, and if we draw you as a winner, we’ll be in touch about how to submit your first page. Good luck!
Okay. Thanks.
Good morning
