Hi! We are again in need of a person who will volunteer to help fill up our calendar.
It's here: http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/calendar.php?
Anyone who has at least 50 posts can currently add events to the calendar, but I'd really like to have one (or two) people who actively seek out things to add to it. For example:
Contest deadlines
Writers' conferences
Book expos
Reading period deadlines for literary mags
Submission deadlines for anthologies
Special events like the start of NaNoWriMo
Chatroom events at AW
Deadlines to submit to Miss Snark's Crapometer
There are lots of places to find this info-- around the boards, for one thing (especially in the Networking section), in our Absolute Write Newsletter's "announcements" section and the Absolute Markets Newsletter's "Contests Corner," on publishers' websites, etc.
This is not a moderator position.
Please let me know here if you're interested.
Even if you don't take the position, everyone, please remember that you CAN add to the calendar (assuming you've made at least 50 posts), so if you see a good opportunity for writers, please remember to add it. I've already heard from at least three writers who won or placed in contests because they saw them on our calendar.
Thanks!
