In Celebration of Halloween

Mistress Bella’s First Annual Halloween Writing Contest

Open to published and unpublished writers
Open to members and non-members of Mistress Bella
Halloween Stories ranging from 1000-2000 words
We will have a panel of judges as well as a poll for readers to determine the winner.
If you want art or pictures with your story please email that to us with your story.
Before submitting your story, make sure it’s polished and your very best work.
The stories MUST be original works (never before been published)
No restrictions on stories
Must be romance


We are also in need of judges. There will be two categories for the stories, published and unpublished authors. If you are a published author and wish to submit a story and also be a judge, you will be able to judge the unpublished stories.

Now let's talk about prizes... A big prize for each first place winner and 2nd and 3rd place winners won't be left out either! The prizes are still being offered to us, and include a professional cover for a free read from Lex Valentine, a line edit by Becca Dale, a critique from Valerie Mann, costume jewelry, free books, and much more.

Deadline for stories is midnight October 28th. The winners will be announced on October 31.

Please submit your stories to mistressbellareviews@gmail.com

If you have any questions, want to be a judge or donate a prize please email us at mistressbellareviews@gmail.com

Thanks,
Mistress Bella


Just FYI: We will be hosting writing contests for Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Mistress Bella's Trick-or-Treat Bash

Mistress Bella Reviews

Cordially Invites You to Our


First Annual Trick-or-Treat Author’s Bash




Greetings


Mistress Bella is hosting a “First Annual Trick-or-Treat Bash” and would be honored if you would attend. We are going to spend Halloween weekend discussing what we love best—romances and the authors who write them, and the publishers who publish them for our enjoyment.

Our goal is to have a different author/publisher every hour. During that hour we would like for you to share excerpts of your latest release/WIP, giveaways, author interviews, trailers and anything else you’d like to provide. We would also like your readers to have the opportunity to ask YOU questions.

The slots are filling up quickly so if you’re interested, please email me (mistressbellareviews@gmail.com) with the day (October 30, 31 and November 1) and the hour you would like to be our special guest.

As for advertising, the more the merrier! To get the word out there, Mistress Bella will post notices regularly on our Blog, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, and also with the help of some other Yahoo groups and friends of ours. We would like to ask that you help with the advertisement as well on any websites, blogs, etc that you use for marketing.

Thanks so much for your time and we hope to see you there!


Yours truly,

Mistress Bella
