WordHustler’s May Writing Contest: Tell Us About Your Best Birthday!

WordHustler’s Monthly Writing Contest: A Birthday Celebration!

UPDATE: Contest Deadline EXTENDED until June 7th!!!! See below for details!

It’s hard to believe it was only a year ago that WordHustler debuted our ground-breaking submission technology to the world. Since last May, we’ve been helping over 4,000 writers send out more than 14 million words to the world. Our wonderful clients have gotten short stories published, connected with agents, and won contests! Hurrah!

To celebrate our first birthday, WordHustler’s May Writing Contest is: What’s the best birthday gift you’ve ever received and why?  

In an essay under 500 words, tell us what the gift was, who gave it to you, and how it touched you. We will then sort through all the masterpieces and post the best 3 on WordHustlerInk.com*

So get those competitive juices flowing and hit your computer – submissions are due by June 7th at 12:00pm PST. Go to the the WordHustler May Writing Contest listing in the Contests section of WordHustler’s Markets and submit through our system to win!

There’s a bonus too – not only will the top 3 works be posted right here on WordHustlerInk for all the world to read and enjoy, the winning writers will also get one free submission (up to $5.99 value) each.

Everyone here at WordHustler Headquarters is grateful to all the people sending their wonderful work out through WordHustler. So keep up the good writing…and the great Hustling!
