Giveaway Winners

The winner of the Bring Yourself giveaway for a place  on the Handmade Writer e-course is .... Caiti. (I used random.org to pick the winner.) Thank you to everyone for your wonderful responses to my question.

The winner of the Kind Over Matter giveaway is Marybeth.

You still have until Sunday to enter the giveaway on Our City Lights.

I am getting very excited about the e-course starting on Monday. I'm so looking forward to meeting all the lovely writers who have signed up so far. There are still a few spaces available so if you want to enroll you still have time.

Three Chances to Win

Happy Summer Solstice! The sun is shining and I want to run around barefoot and eat honeycomb ice cream. 

There is just one week to go until the summer session of the Handmade Writer e-course starts on 28th June. If you want to spend your summer writing then this course just might be perfect for you. You will find oodles of encouragement, plenty of creative stimulus and I will (gently) critique every word you write. That, plus sunshine, sounds good to me. 

 

To celebrate both the run-up to the course and the summertime, I have partnered up with Diana at Our City Lights and Jenn and Amanda at Kind Over Matter to offer you three chances to win a place on the summer session of the Handmade Writer e-course.

Here's what you do:

1. Go over to visit Diana at Our City Lights and leave a comment telling her why you would benefit from a place on the Handmade Writer e-course. You have until Sunday 27th June to enter.

2. Go over to Kind Over Matter and leave a for comment for Jenn and Amanda telling them your absolute favourite part of summer. You have until noon on Friday 25th June to enter.  

3. Leave me a comment here, telling me about the piece of writing that most inspires you. This could be your favourite book, a poem that makes your heart beat faster or a memoir that makes you cry. You have until Friday 25th June to enter.

You can enter all three giveaways if you want.

Of course, if you want to sign up to Handmade Writer right away, you can do that here.

If you want more information about the e-course to see if it's right for you go here. If you want to read what people have said about the e-course so far, go here.

I can't wait to welcome you onto the e-course and get the summer of writing started.

Handmade Writer Giveaway on Sleep is for the Weak

There is a chance to win a place on the upcoming Handmade Writer E-Course at the Sleep is for the Weak Writing Workshop. All you need to do is a bit of writing for the chance to win your free place.

The Writing Workshop is run by Josie and each week she gives five writing/ blogging prompts inspired by blogs, current affairs and daily life. Writers then post their responses to the prompts on their own blogs and link back to the Writing Workshop. It's a sort of writing community and a great way to see how different writers interpret the same prompts.

This week, by taking part in the Writing Workshop and posting your responses to the prompts on your blog before Sunday 21st March, you'll have a chance to win a place on the Handmade Writer E-Course, which starts on 12th April and runs for 6 weeks.

Head over the Sleep is for the Weak Writing Workshop for all the details and to see Josie's fantastic writing prompts.

Thanks Josie for offering the giveaway. 

A Field Guide to Now

I love reading My Topography. It's author Christina is such a talented writer. Her latest project is the brilliant A Field Guide to Now. She describes it as 'An illustrated collection of essays and prose exploring the present tense. A field guide to the marks and traits and habits of now.'

She is trying to raise enough money to fund the project and needs your help.

I have donated a chance to win a place on the Handmade Writer e-course (which starts 12th April) to supporters of her project. All you have to do is head over to her site and pledge money towards her project. She is collecting money through Kickstarter so it's really easy to donate.

I think this is such a fantastic project and really worth supporting. I think it is incredibly important to support writers who are bravely following their dreams. I know Christina would really appreciate your support.

Giveaway
