Writing Contest Spring 2021

by Erica Surace

The publishing industry has been widely criticized for its lack of diversity. 

In an effort to address this issue head-on we launched the Women Plot Diversity contest to offer two authors the chance of being published. The purpose of this contest is to support inclusivity across our own lists, and to fortify our own mission to give voice to women writers.
