Write Wonder and Win Wondrous Prizes!
To celebrate my up and coming book, website, and freelance writing and editing business, I'm hosting two contests with extraordinary prizes. Enter one, enter both! Enter them multiple times! Details are below. Get excited, get creative, get submitting, and enjoy!
Name My Owl Contest:
If you have not yet seen the newest member of the Writing Wonder world, here he is!
Cute little fellow, isn't he? Well, he might be a she, as he/she/it doesn't have a name yet. But we can't have a nameless owl! Submit your choice of this owl's name along with a reason why you chose it. I will select the top 3 choices by April 18, and then YOU will vote for the final decision. The winner will name the owl of their choice. This is a one-time contest; once he's named, that's it. Help decide the name of my owl now, as you'll never get another chance.

I told you this was a celebration...
April Short Story Contest: Bring a Ghost Story to Life
Write a ghost story - whether it be well-known, or completely of your own design - from the scene of the crime. Write what happened prior, during, and/or after. Show the ghost in existence somehow. It can be from when the ghost died and his/her perspective of life, or someone investigating a ghost myth. Just show the ghost in a creative way.
This is a topic near and dear to my heart. Although I've never seen a ghost, I believe in they do exist and I love to unravel their backgrounds. I'm currently working on a short story derived from a myth near my home town. It's been proven false, but I adore the idea of it. I still wish it could possibly be true.
So bring on the ghosts!
