Just added the little logo to my blog sidebar–again! Wow. 6 nominations and 3 wins. It doesn’t get much better than that. Thanks so much for doing this, Chanson!
Congratulations everyone, nominees and winners.
One of my entries missed by one vote. That’s what I get for not voting for myself. LOL!
@4 Yeah, that one was really close! Next time do what everybody else did: Campaign for yourself on Facebook the day before the polls close. 😉
I’m trying to find an editor for my first novel. It’s about a Mormon missionary who goes insane on his mission.
I would like to find a top, experienced novel editor who is a former Mormon.
Know of any?
Thanks for your time
