The Writers’ League of Texas has expanded the eligible catagories in its Annual Novel Contest to include children’s and YA (both long works only, such as novels, memoirs, etc.). Entries must be postmarked by March 1 (or dropped off at the league office by 6 p.m. that day); the “winner in each category will meet individually with an agent at the Writers’ League of Texas Agents & Editors Conference, June 10-12, 2005, at Austin’s Omni Hotel Downtown.”
