HWG Members,

The deadline for the short story submissions for Writer's Block IV have been extended to Dec. 31st.  You're invited to send your edited stories, no longer than 4000 words in length, to Jo Wilkins.  The submissions are judged independently.  The top sixteen stories will make up the compilation. 

Remember, the proceeds of this anthology help fund our Youth Writing Contest, and will give you a publishing credit on your resume. 

If you've already submitted but did not receive an email confirmation from Jo, our president, please send it again. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have a great week and remainder of 2011! Be safe and Happy Holidays

Teresa Watts, Editor
