Contest Tuesday - Another Book Give Away!

It's contest Tuesday again...we love giving things away! On Thursday, I'm going to be blogging about writer's conferences. What's good about them, how to prepare for them, and what to do if you have a bad experience.

This week I'm giving away a free copy of A Slow Burn by Mary E. DeMuth. It's a fantastic read! In order to be eligible, you must be a follower of Fiction Flurry, and leave a comment on what your opinion is of writer's conferences.



Happy Writing!

Contest Tuesday - Book Giveaway

One thing I love about writing is other writers. Since I've started this journey to publication, I am amazed at the willingness of others to share their experience and knowledge with less experienced writers.

Todays contest is simple. Simply leave a comment telling what the best writing advice or tip is that you have received. You must be a follower to be eligible.

The prize? I'll send a copy of Always Watching by Brandilyn & Amberly Collins. It's a great read filled with suspense. Brandily Collins is known for her trademark "Seatbelt Suspense."

I'll announce the winner on Saturday....good luck!
