Time is the Enemy!

"Why," I've been asked, "are you announcing the Shaman Writers competition now?  The contest doesn't start for another year!"

"Yes," I nod, "and how long do you think it takes to write a book?  It took me six years to research and write The Soul of the Land.  Granted, that by following the guidelines in We, The Shamans you should progress at a much faster rate, but unless you already are working on a book, I seriously doubt that you will have one ready to enter the competition by this time next year."

The good news is, the contest has had the desired effect.  Many individuals who have been thinking that they should write their family histories are doing something about it.  Even if they have had little, or no writing experience, they are joining the Shaman Writer's Club and getting to work on the preservation of their families lives and just maybe they will walk away with a prize.  Even if they don't, they will have completed a very worthwhile project that will live on forever. 

New Writing Competition

Write your family history and enter a contest worth several thousand dollars! The winner of the first place, Grand Shaman award will receive a $1,000, get their manuscript published, receive 50 free books of his/her work, and possibly earn royalties. We, at Aspen’d Publishing, feel so strongly about the importance of conserving family history using creative nonfiction writing techniques, that we have decided to not only create a Shaman Writer’s Club to promote writing is this historical genre, but to also sponsor a contest.
