Writing Contest for Young Readers!

Crying Cougar Press announces a contest for kids and teens who love to read. This two month contest begins October 1 and ends November 30. The winner will write the best short story using TextNovel, an interactive site for amateur writers.
 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PR Log (Press Release)Sep 26, 2009 – TextNovel, whose tag line is "for the story in you -- where writers get noticed," gives amateur writers a platform for expression on any topic. Most of the smaller stories are read by kids and teens using cell phones as their reception instrument, so small chapters of 140 words are excellent. Entrants can create an account in TextNovel and e-mail Crying Cougar Press with the name of their story - kgauthor@conorandthecrossworlds.com

Author Kevin Gerard of Conor and the Crossworlds fame is writing a story on TextNovel called, "Trapped in My School Locker," about a sixth grade boy who gets stuffed into his locker by eighth graders the first day of school. After a brief period of worry, the boy decides to have fun with his school mates. He derives all kinds of tricks to play on them and has the time of his life.

This contest gives students a chance to write the story they've carried in their heads for years. It's easy, too, all they have to do is write a chapter every week, only 140 words. The winning story will be judged on creativity, basic writing mechanics (spelling, etc.), and story appeal.

The author of the winning story will receive signed copies of the first four books in the popular Conor and the Crossworlds fantasy adventure series.

Contest runs from October 1 to November 30
Open to all Elementary, Middle, and High School students
Story must have at least eight 140 word chapters
Story must be written on the TextNovel website - http://www.textnovel.com/
A minimum number of entries must be received by November 30

Have fun and remember, write with abandon!
