If you're currently working on a fiction novel or planning to write one soon, then I encourage you to enter my Mentoring Session Contest, which is open to all writers -- aspiring and veteran.
What the lucky winner will receive:
1. Encouragement.
2. Honest (but gentle) criticism of your writing, query, synopsis, chapter by chapter outline and press release.
3. Free editing.
4. List of possible publishers to market your book to.
5. List of possible book reviewers.
6. A review of your book from me. The review will be published here as well as on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
7. An interview with you that will be published here at Life of a Writer.
8. Marketing advice.
9. A special gift valued at $30. This special gift will be announced at a later date, because I need to check to see how I can purchase a gift subscription first.
10. In addition to everything above, you'll receive mentoring from me until you've written the last word in your book. If it continues over three years, though, I might have to announce an expiration date.

3. Follow me on Twitter. Once you've completed this task, return to this post and leave a comment letting me know what name you go by on Twitter, so I'll know it was you that followed me. You won't be entered if you "follow" me but don't return here to let me know your Twitter name, so make sure you return here and let me know the name you use on Twitter immediately after you follow me.
4. Subscribe to Life of a Writer via e-mail. Soon after you subscribe, I'll send you an e-mail to let you know you've been entered.

In regards to commenting on the Fiction Writing Tips series, if your comment is of a spam nature, then it won't be published, nor will you receive an entry into the Mentoring Session Contest. If you post an actual comment that adds value and is not spam, then you'll be just fine.
