     I am so, so excited today to help announce the next fairytale retelling writing contest that author Anne Elisabeth Stengl is hosting!! EEP!! Take a look at the gorgeous cover!!! <3

Rooglewood Press is delighted to introduce their third fairy tale novella contest—

Rooglewood Press will be selecting five winners to be published in the Five Magic Spindles collection, which will be packaged up with the phenomenal cover you see here. Maybe your name will be one of the five listed?

    I have only one idea for it, and I think it is too tragic. So excited though retellings are the best.

      Retellings are just amazing!! :D Oh dear! I hope you will find a new idea then! :)

      I have some thoughts and ideas running through my head, but nothing definite. We'll see what happens! I think I need to read the original Sleeping Beauty story first, since I've only ever read the Disney picture book version!! Anyway, best wishes on your submission if you do one!!

      Blessings!! <3

    EEP! PRETTY! ^_^ I have some Sleeping Beauty ideas but don't know if I'd bother actually writing/entering. XD But it's still super exciting! :D
