Writing Competition - win professional feedback on your manuscript

To celebrate the launch of '52 Dates for Writers', readers are invited to submit a piece of writing inspired by an exercise or activity in the book. There are a huge variety of writing prompts and activities in the book, so all you need to do is pick a writing date that intrigues or inspires you and be ready to get writing.

'52 Dates for Writers' is based on the idea of making space for yourself as a writer by regularly taking your ideas away from your desk, so we'd like to see a photo from the writing date that inspired your submission. Win a detailed reader report on your opening three chapters, cover letter and synopsis to the value of £180, or one of two critiques on your cover letter and synopsis (value £40). Alternatively, the prizes can be exchanged for credit against another of my consultancy services.

To enter, please submit:

Up to 250 words describing your writing date - including, if you wish, how it has helped you develop your writing skills or novel draft;

A photograph taken on the writing date;

Up to 1,000 words written in response to one or more of the exercises or prompt linked to your writing date. For some dates, this may include an illustration or other art form.

Submissions to be emailed to contact@clairewingfield.co.uk by 6pm UK time on the 10th September 2013. Be sure to type 'Writing Competiton' in the subject bar. We welcome international submissions. The three prizes will be awarded to the writers whose submissions we judge to have provided the fullest and most intriguing response to the tasks in question. We want to see writers who have embraced the writing date and accompanying activities - whose writing may have been pushed in new and challenging directions. We expect these are the writers who will make us want to read on - whether that's more of a novel draft already in progress, or a new piece of writing inspired by '52 Dates for Writers'.

Please note, writing based on the dates given as free samples in Amazon's 'Look Inside' feature (dates 1 to 3 in the book) are not eligible for the competition.
