An idea whose time has come

Not too long ago, I was speaking with a friend about writing contests, cover contests and the like. More accurately, how I knew absolutely nothing about entering or even where to find them. I'd love to enter my work in a contest or two, but quite frankly, I'm clueless.

I'd thought then that what the writing profession needed was mentors. You know, someone to show you the ropes; someone who had the inside scoop on which publishers to submit to or which agents to query; someone who has walked the path to publication and knows a thing or two, and, most importantly, is willing to share.

Well, today I was in Romance Diva's chat room and guess what? RD has a mentor program.

So if you'd like a mentor, or to be one, apply at Romance Divas. You do, of course have to be Diva. This is a three month, serious commitment with a small fee but way, way worth it.

And just in case you thought I forgot, here is your Monday Pick Me Up.
