Win a Free 10-week Writing Workshop

If you're up for a writing challenge shortly before 2008 comes in, join the What's the Buzz(word)? contest. Create a buzzword that you think might emerge in 2008 and give a brief definition of the word and a sample sentence using the word. Entries are limited to no more than 100 words for the buzzword, definition, and sample sentence.

If you're lucky, your entry will be published in the Spring 2008 brochure and posted online at WritingClasses.com. What more? You will also receive a free 10-week Writing Workshop.

You better hurry, though. Contest deadline is December 30!

Make a great writing year!
