Unofficial Roald Dahl Fan Page Book Review

As you may remember a couple of weeks ago I had told you that I had been approached by the Unofficial Roald Dahl Fan Page through Facebook to provide some prizes for a competition they were running. They were very close to getting to the 5k fans mark and wanted to celebrate that magnificent fact.

Second Competition Of The Year

Following hot on the heels of the Glimmer Train competition I had told you all about a few weeks ago I can now tell you of another competition entered in January.

You may remember last year I had entered the 2011 Central PA Writing Competition held by the local radio station, WITF and the Central PA magazine. 

Teacher To Terry

Some people have told me that the really hard part of being a writer is not the actual writing. Nor is it getting the right illustrations or figuring the layout of the book. Nope, all of these are considered the easiest part when figuring on this element.

Signed Books Have Been Dispatched!!

 As you may remember a few weeks ago I was approached by a group via Facebook to provide them with copies of my book to give away as prizes to celebrate their page reaching 5000 likes.

Charlotte Zolotow Award

I found, while reading some of my writers instructional books, came across some really good places to send my books. One of these is to Madison, Wisconsin and for consideration of the Charlotte Zolotow Award.

First Competition Of The Year!

So it is the start of the new year and the competitions are coming thick and fast. This month I get to enter this one through 'Glimmer Train Press' which requires a short fiction story of no more than 1500 words.

Roald Dahl Residency

As you all know I am a big fan of the Roald Dahl Children's books. I read them when I was younger and now at my old age I still get a kick out of Charlies adventure in the Chocolate Factory, George giving his Grandma experimental medicine and the sheer disgust found in 'The Twits'.
