W is for WIDO PUBLISHING and the WINNER of the Submissions Contest

Recently I held a submissions contest where the WINNER would win a contract with WIDO PUBLISHING. The top three finalists are announced here.

And the winner is announced HERE-- 


Congratulations to Paul Anthony Shortt, who has won a publishing contract with WiDo Publishing, for his manuscript, "Locked Within."


Paul's blog is Coffee Thoughts. Stop by and wish him well. He deserves it for beating out many other excellent entries in the contest.

Well done, Paul!

And well done to Kerri Cueves and Jack Hessey, who were also among the three finalists. Many thanks to all those who entered.

    Just a bit of added information-- Paul lives in Ireland, and WiDo's distributor has opened branches in the UK and Australia, so his book will not only be available in bookstores here, but over there as well. Which is so cool. It makes the world of publishing much smaller.

    I've already got a retailer with branches here and in the UK all set to take orders. :-)

    Thrilled to be part of WiDo's expansion!
