Important notice! That Game of Thorn’s!

A good number of our regular visitors have threatened to submit their entries!  But I am still waiting.  Also, my webinar that was to take place a month ago was ambushed by cyber gremlins, and it is just tonight that I will be sharing a fragment of what I know about writing, editing and publishing with 150 writers from 38 countries across the globe. I would like to give them a chance to enter, as well. I appreciate that everyone who entered on time may feel a bit slighted, and I can only hope that you are generous of spirit, allowing the stragglers to unstraggle, and new-comers to come newly to our tight community of writers.

The deadine is extended to November 15th.  The winner will still be announced on Thanksgiving, as planned, and their $1,000 award will be PayPal-ed to them same day. If you intend to enter, pull down AWWYP Literary Award from the home page.

The top five contenders will be included in a random drawing to have me give their entire manuscript a full review with encouragement and advice to bring it to its peak. This is a service for which I routinely charge $2 a page.

You will have to scramble to be included in tonight’s webinar. It starts soon. Hope to see you!

Thornton Sully has Jack-Londoned his way across the globe sleeping with whatever country would have him, and picking up stray stories along the way. A litter of dog-eared passports that have taken up residence in his sock drawer are a constant temptation, but, as the founder in 2009 of A Word with You Press, dedicated to helping you tell your story persuasively and with passion, it’s not likely he will stray too far from the towers that are A Word with You Press, now located in the Bohemian village of Ceske Budejovice in the Czech Republic, except, perhaps, for an occasional swim in the Aegean. Authors who have sought his advice have won major awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the Isabel Allende Miraposa Award for new fiction, and the Best Poetry Award from San Diego Writers' Awards. "I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." Thornton Sully, plagiarizing E.B. White
