A Space to Write

Good morning ☀️ Just a reminder that today is the LAST day to submit your entry for a chance to receive a free page one assessment from me (see previous post for competition deets).

Also! If you want to get some writing done this weekend, you might find some inspiration in my latest video: How to break the writing rules (and get away with it)!

This is a 50-minute guided creative writing session with mini lessons and writing prompts, all designed to help you understand certain important writing rules AND get you to break them in creative ways! I hope you enjoy: https://youtu.be/pE1KoORTiCY

Would you like a FREE page one assessment from me?

I am running a little competition for my YouTube subscribers as a way of saying thank you for being awesome 🙌

I will be giving 4 lucky followers a FREE assessment of the first page of their work-in-progress. Novels, short stories, and memoirs are all welcome.

TO ENTER: drop me an email (maria@aspacetowrite.com) with the first page of your story attached as a Word or PDF file. Mention in the body of the email either a video of mine that was helpful for you, OR a question you have/type of content you'd like to see in the future. Do also include your youtube username because I will be checking that the competition winners are subscribers.

This competition ends on Friday July 9th, so get your entries in before the end of the day on Friday. Winners will be notified on Monday July 13th.

Please also note that if your story is chosen, I will perform the assessment in a 10-15 minute video that will be PUBLIC on my channel. I will not include your name or any details that could reveal who you are (unless you wish to be tagged), but I will be sharing your first page. Before entering the competition, make sure you are ok with this!

Good luck, and I can't wait to read your first page ❤️️
