A Call to Writers

On my bucket list is that I want to win an award from this prestigious contest. I hope as fellow writers you'll enjoy this connection. The gal who runs this organization is a personal friend, but that hasn't influenced her to give me an award. She's a strictly by the books gal and runs a wonderful organization.
