Writing Contests

Goodnight Moon Celebration Contest: Johnson’s and HarperCollins Publishers are sponsoring a bedtime story contest in honor of the 60th anniversary of the publication of the classic, Goodnight Moon. Online submissions must be received by July 15, 2007.

Nancy Pearl, librarian extraordinaire, is asking:

What was your first book crush? Everyone has one. You know, the first time a book completely captured your imagination, transported you to a magical world, or introduced you to lifelong friends you will never forget?”

Sasquatch Books is sponsoring a national essay contest to celebrate that incredible feeling of having a book crush. The winning entry will receive a Book Crush Weekend in Seattle, including airfare for two to Seattle, two nights’ hotel stay, and dinner with Nancy Pearl. The winning essay will be published online at www.nancypearl.com.

Kids ages 13 and under—each month, Writer’s Digest hosts a special Your Assignment for Kids competition! Win publication and prizes!
