WELCOME to our FOURTH annual Rate Your Story March On With Mentor Texts event!

Mentor Texts are very important to us as writers and I am happy to be able to have an event to inspire writers and authors to use them effectively and successfully and well as to introduce new books to read!

REGISTRATION: Register at the bottom of this post by typing your name and sharing a favorite mentor text and telling us why it's good. We are happy to take registration comments all month -- I truly understand that one may be late to the party but can still catch up! So register anytime before March 31st and you are in it to win it! To start off the fun -- I will be gifting away two one-half hour Mentor Sessions to two persons who register in the first week!

MENTOR TEXT POSTS: To be eligible for prizes, please read each and every post and be sure to comment on each one. To support our efforts, please share your favorite posts and tell us where you shared it for extra bonus chances to win a prize.

READING LIST: There will be no advance reading list this year due to unforeseeable circumstances, but feel free to create your own from those posts that appeal to you!

PRIZES: Please note that prizes will be posted on this blog in or about one month of the conclusion of the event. Please make sure that you follow our Rate Your Story blog to get the post notfication OR check back, rather than e-mail as I am trying to streamline the process. The prize post will have instructions on how to claim. Please read and follow the directions. Prizes will include critiques, mentor sessions, books, special acquisition opportunities and MORE!
