Subject: Help spread the “words” — 8th Annual Write a DearReader Contest

Call the neighbors, wake the kids—DearReader is back with the eighth annual Write a DearReader Contest. Help spread the word to your readers, fans and followers beginning July 2, using the attached widgets.

You can write about anything as long as it is no longer than 650 words. Write about the day you wore your T-shirt inside out; about the stray cat or dog found curled up on your front porch, your favorite aunt, a bizarre and whimsical woman who vacuums her living room in the buff; the overwhelming love in your heart when you held their first grandchild, or write about your fear of writing. Just write!

Deadline: August 12, 2012

DearReader founder Suzanne Beecher will choose three winners. In addition to cash prizes, each winner will receive a signed copy of Suzanne’s book Muffins and Mayhem: Recipes for a Happy (if Disorderly) Life, and the winning columns will be published on DearReader.com
