Thank you to Debdatta of http://www.b00kr3vi3ws.in who is hosting this blog tour to celebrate International Authors' Day.
A short while ago I asked for articles about being a writer, but it seems that my fellow South African authors are very shy when it comes to sharing their stories.
From experience, and having some great friends outside my home country, I decided that we all could benefit from a compilation of our stories.
You may submit a maximum of 2 articles, between 1500 to 2000 words each, on YOUR experiences, or YOUR advice on writing or being a writer. This is not a project on general advice, it has to be from a personal perspective. First person POV is recommended. Only English language submissions will be considered.
Please submit your articles/stories to blog.tour.info@gmail.com as a .doc, .rtf or .txt file.
