About That Contest
The Chico Writers Group on Facebook
Back in November we announced a contest [Like Us and Win!]. While we had a notable increase in fans on Facebook, we didn’t come anywhere close to the targeted mark. And then on Facebook, we posted a question: should we try with another contest in 2011. Aside from one jubilant response, it was whisper quiet. Crickets chirped.
Perhaps everyone was too busy with the holidays and the aftershock of NaNoWriMo to be bothered. That’s the best we could come up with, surely it couldn’t have been the prizes!
So come February 2011 we’ll announce a different contest. But because we didn’t reach the goal of 1,000 fans, sadly that contest is over, there were no winners.
Perhaps we can have a writing contest where entrants must post to the fan page on Facebook. We’ll leave that idea out there and see what you have to say about that idea.
Until then, write on! And Happy Holidays, too.
Your friends at the Chico Writers Group.

Currently R. will be leading the critique of Kathie’s piece from 8/16 (manuscripts will only be shared between current members for privacy and copyright concerns)
Members wishing to have their work critiqued must email it to Kathie by Sunday, August 31st. The earlier, the better as this allows members ample time to read and make notes for the discussion. If you require more information regarding our guidelines, please refer to the following articles:

*About Facebook Club Page: If you aren’t a member of Facebook, consider joining. It’s free and a great way to keep abreast of upcoming events, activities and other features of the Chico Writer’s Group. There are two Chico Writer’s Group pages online at Facebook. Make sure you are adding to the CLUB and not the FAN page as the FAN page will most likely be closed down in the very near future. Once you’ve added the club page, navigate to the Administrator (Kathie) and add yourself as a friend (maybe add a comment you’re a new member of the writer’s group) so that you are receiving invitations.
