It's a disheartening day in the writing community. I'm feeling what can only be described as shell-shocked today. It feels like this came out of nowhere. But I did see a tweet that helped.

I'm gonna wake up and keep trying to do good and so are you and nobody gets to vote on that.I feel the need to say publicly in very simple terms that I will do the best I can to promote diversity and own voices in every contest I host. To support writers. To encourage the writing community. To show that love can trump hate.
So I'll continue to do all the good I can, for as long as I can, for as many as I can. Thank you, Hillary.
Contest Mission: Our mission is to showcase the work of diverse and talented novelists, while providing a learning environment that unites the writing community through knowledge, kindness, and a little friendly kompetition.
