Tales2Inspire ~ A Great Opportunity to Showcase Your Writing Talents for FREE

Tales2Inspire Offers Talented Writers a Great Opportunity to Showcase Your Writing Talents for FREE

In 2011 I created Tales2inspire®, an "Authors Helping Authors" worldwide project/contest for writers seeking more recognition for their talents. It’s an Authors Helping Authors project because each author whose story makes it through phase one, becomes a mentor/anonymous judge to three other such authors.

Tales2inspire® is also a contest, but charges no entry fees. And if your story makes it through to publication, you get lots of FREE PR to help you brand yourself as an author of talent. All you need are some writing skills, a bit of energy and an inspiring story to share. 

 Theme for 2024 submission: Happiness

With so much turmoil in our lives today, I thought it might help us to focus on some positives in our lives.

Before you begin, here are two things I suggest you do to help you succeed:

• CLICK HERE for all contest details (or copy and paste https://www.tales2inspire.com/contest-2 into your browser). 

CLICK HERE for a free sampler of winning stories published in an several of the Tales2Inspire® books. Read them to get the flavor of what makes a Tales2Inspire® winner. 

And if you feel a bit intimidated about judging the work of other writers, rest assured, I have created a form in a click, click, click format to simplify the process. 

• CLICK HERE to see a screenshot of the judging form, (or copy and paste https://tales2inspire.com/contest/judging/ into your browser.)

Looking forward to reading some amazing new stories!
