Dear ,
Have you ever wondered what it's like to start and run a fiction contest? Or perhaps you're interested in learning what goes on behind the scenes? That's the topic in today's discussion on The Muffin with Sherri Cook Woosley, founder of Coffee House Fiction'sFiction Writing Contest and editor of The Fifteenth Annual Dame Lisbet Throckmorton Anthology, 2010.
 I just love short fiction collections, don't you? This blog tour features five authors and two editors of the anthology who share wonderful fiction writing advice, anthology tips, and tips on winning contests throughout the length of the tour.
We kick off the blog tour with a fantastic interview with editor Sherri Cook Woosley (photo right), who tells us why she created the contest, how she came up with such an unusual (and long) name for the contest, how to distinguish legitimate contests from scams, why you should enter a contest, the value of critiques, common mistakes in contest entries, and more! This is a fabulous interview, jam-packed with advice for writers who are interested in entering contests.
We also have a book giveaway today! Stop by The Muffin today and comment for a chance to win a signed copy of The Fifteenth Annual Dame Lisbet Throckmorton Anthology, 2010!
If you have a question about entering contests, running your own, critiques, fiction writing or anything else, stop by and ask Sherri a question. She'll be checking in and chatting with WOW! readers today, so be sure to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.

For six years CoffeeHouseFiction.Com has sponsored The Fifteenth Dame Lisbet Throckmorton Fiction Writing Contest, a contest open to all genres, with the only requirement that the writing be disarming and original. Now, for the second time, the best authors have been hand-picked from the 2010 contest to realize the Coffee House Fiction 2010 Anthology. This year's winning stories take us on a literary journey from a mind-bending revenge fantasy at a Nazi concentration camp to a miasmic journey through the minds of coffee shop denizens. Genre: Anthology; short fiction collection Paperback: 69 pages Publisher: Mud House Publishing (August 2010) ISBN: 098283800X The Fifteenth Dame Lisbet Throckmorton Anthology, 2010 is available through Amazon.
