Budding writers of both fiction and non-fiction have a chance to win free registration to Canada's largest Christian Writing Conference!
BRANTFORD, ONTARIO – The Word Guild's "Fresh Ink" Writing Contest is now open to all those unpublished Canadian Christian writers. Entrants of all ages – including teenagers and young adults – are encouraged to enter.
The purpose of the contest is to encourage and recognize new and aspiring writers. For that reason, "unpublished" means the writer has never been paid for something he or she has written.
