The Greyden Press 2014 Book Competition is now open.

The deadline for manuscripts is midnight, June 2. Children's works will be accepted until July 1, and all winners will be announced Oct. 1. Greyden Press will publish the books of the grand prize winners for free. For details, follow this link.

David Braughler, publishing adviser with Greyden Press, and author Robin O'Bryant will give an overview of the self-publishing process at the April 10-12 Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop in their session, "Self Publishing is the New Black."

This is not an April Fool's joke. The National Society of Newspaper Columnists has extended its contest deadline to April 1.

"The extension is a direct result of so many of you emailing me with messages that essentially said, "Please, sire, I beseech you - give me more time to peruse my 2013 columns so that I may guarantee that only my very best work is submitted for thine most glorious contest," NSNC President Eric Heyl wrote in a tongue-in-cheek note in the organization's March newsletter.

The annual column competition by our EBWW partner welcomes bloggers, new writers and established columnists. For details, click here.
