DRUMROLL...Announcing our March On with Mentor Text Prize Winners!
Thank you everyone who participated and promoted our March On With Mentor Text
Inaugural Yearly Event!
I offer profuse apologies for the delay in posting the winners, as I have had a rough few months with putting our house up for sale and searching for a new one, as well as moving temporarily to Kentucky and back (and getting COVID on top of everything).
To expedite the *late* process of claiming prizes, please contact the Author via the e-mail or form provided, with MARCH ON WITH MENTOR TEXT PRIZE in the subject line of the e-mail or form. Also, please tweet or share your good news on facebook and give these generous authors some cyber-love.

Thank you, everyone for participating! I will be giving additional prizes of 15 min zoom consultations to select winners who share their favorite post and tag @RateYourStory and @Literally_Lynne.
IMPORTANT INFO: All prizes need to be redeemed within one month of this post (September 12, 2022). Any prizes not redeemed or used by that time will expire. Please understand that the authors work hard and have busy lives so we don’t want them to have to track the prizes past that date.
Our Authors worked hard and all they got was "this lousy badge"! Even a lousy t-shirt is better LOL
And lastly, please mark your calendars for next year! Thanks again!
If you were not a prize winner this year, be sure to come back next year, and at the very least, we have a participant badge for you. Please grab it if you'd like and feel free to link it back to: https://www.rateyourstory.org/march-on
And for those who were waiting...Spring Contest Winners coming soon!
