I’ve always been one to tell writers, especially those just starting out, that being exposed is one of the things to aim for. If no one knows you, no one will read what you write.
Apart from having your blog and social pages where you share your writing for exposure and to pull in readers, participaing in awards and contests is another great way to achieve this, and even faster.
As one of the distributor outlet for CFWriterz Magazine, Pelleura is happy to announce that CFWriterz is calling to all creative writers out there to participate in the CFWriterz Biannual Literary Award.
Are you a badass writer? Do you want to win N100,000 In The CFWriterz Biannual Literary Award?
