This could be an easy way for some of you incredibly talented pilots to earn money for school, flight lessons, or fund your passion of flight!
The WNBA...Women’s National Book Association is a dynamic organization of women and men across the broad spectrum of writing and publishing. Membership includes Editors, Publishers, Literary Agents, Professors, Academics, Librarians, Authors, Book Sellers and many others involved in the world of books.
After years of celebrating published authors, extraordinary book women and others in the field, we have decided it is time to celebrate emerging writers. I'm just fortunate to know how many talented aviation writers are out there who could use some extra dollars to fund their passion.
Who has more time to read than pilots on the road?
I know you have a story to tell.

Fantastic idea to reach out to aviation enthusiasts/writers! Thanks for putting this out there, Karlene.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda. And they have so much to talk about too.
DeleteThis should open for 16 years old writers! What a pity! This seems to be a good contest, and the prize is great also... $250 would help to finance books and studying materials! D:
ReplyDeleteAlex, I wish it were open to 16 year old students. When I sent you the link, I'd forgotten... once again... that you were only 16. You make it hard to believe that your ability, and talent all came in 16 years.
DeleteForwarded this to two future authors I know. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteVictoria, Thank you so much for spreading the word. So many talented people out there. One will win this.
