The winner of this month’s Writerland contest is …
KRISTAN!
Kristan, e-mail me your address and to whom you’d like the book addressed (Kristan, Kristan the Magnificent, etc.) to meghan (at) meghanward (dot) com. Then, whenever you’re ready, send me 20 pages of your manuscript or a short story, and I will critique it and send it back to you within a week.
And now for a few links. My list is going to be short for the next few weeks because I have DEADLINES.

Kristan – you deserve it!
Aditi – I always use Times New Roman. Just habit, I guess.
