A Rare Resource Authors Can Trust

I am proud to be associated with this contest because of Winning Writers' reputation--decades of reputable service to authors--and the value-added aspects of this contest as outlined below. Oh, the other big thing. It  doesn't judge books by their covers, or the printing methods the author chooses. From it's newsletter to the #NorthStreetBookPrize, it's about quality quality and reputation.  Take the time to read this. And save it in your contact file, perhaps. The day may come--if not now, then in the future.  (-:
