5.     Prizes will be revealed during the posts. To be eligible, you must be registered, make efforts to consistently research mentor texts, and comment on every post from March 1-March 30. This will allow you to enter our Rafflecopter on March 30. You must be on the blog to comment. Please do not reply to the posts via email.  Again, we are on the honor system.

Our February 26 post will help you prepare for the challenge. Until then, feel free to browse our mission and site. When March 1 rolls around, it's go time! Read the posts and book recommendations. Research and learn! Feel free to veer off of our list and cater your needs to your own manuscripts. Utilize our research tools and start discussions in our Facebook Group. We are excited to share this educational experience with you and we hope it makes a difference in your writing!
