Contest Alert: Bardsy's "The Short and Long of It" NaNoWriMo Prep Contest - Writer Beware

 Panzer had just settled down for his evening nap when he heard booing and hissing coming from the Catosphere. Jumping into the Panzermobile he headed out. The trail of angst lead him to the Writer Beware site. There he found a Contest Alert post.

 

The post by Victoria Strauss discusses the Bardsy "The Short and Long of it" NaNoWriMo Prep Contest. According to the post authors need to read the contest rules very carefully.  Some of the rules are very unfair to authors. For one, just by entering the contest authors are giving Bardsy first publication rights. For another, Bardsy keeps the rights in perpetuity. The post points out other problems with the rules as well and explains why they are bad for authors.

My job is done for the day.

 

Panzer says, "Always. Always. Always. Read. The. Rules."

 

Note: This is a long post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection.
