Got Kudos?

Around the first of each month, we post members' news of sales, acceptances, contest wins, and other writerly good news.
      Send a brief notice to veda@vedaboydjones.com by the 25th of each month about your news. Remember, the deadline is the 25th of each month.
      To keep it simple, write your news in third person, such as: "Veda Boyd Jones sold a short story, "The Mistletoe Caper," to Woman's World—issue dated December 26, 2022." If you've sold a book, be sure to mention the publisher and when the book will be released.
      Our goal is for members to develop a community of writers who celebrate and are inspired by each other's good news.

March Kudos. Congratulations!

This new collection will put a smile on your face and remind you that sometimes in life there's nothing else you can do, but laugh! https://bit.ly/4gczg9A

The History Press recently published Larry Wood's Murder and Mayhem in Oklahoma, and Larry has now signed a contract with the same publisher for his next book, tentatively titled Murderous Women of Missouri. In February, Larry won first place in the Joplin Writers' Guild's annual romantic short story contest in conjunction with Valentine's Day.
