Hey, this is an awesome competition that doesn't require you to tag anybody, so I thought I'd give them a shout out on my conversations in case anybody was interested. @UnicornAlliance_Off is offering 600 slots, which is huge and incredibly generous. I am guessing they are really hoping to find some help with judges too, I have work obligations that prevent me from being able to assist, so I am hoping that somebody here can help them! Thanks everybody!

Hey this is super random but I saw you on the Psychological Nobel reads page about the LGBTQ tags and was going to come ask if you had figured it out. But I noticed that you've spelt psychological wrong ( you missed the h) so you might want to rectify that!

@queen_of_sass Thanks, that would be a dumb way to loose a contest wouldn't it? Lol, and as far as getting the tags to stick goes, I had to delete old tags, refresh the page, and then add the new ones.

Hello,I'm writing my first book! I would appreciate it if you would give me some advice. I live in South Africa,data is a bit expensive so I'll not be able to see your response immediately.

@LeonahNdlovu I see you haven't posted anything yet, lol. If you want just general advice than the best thing I have is to plot your character arcs. If I don't know in advance how and when I want to show character growth happening than it just won't. 
            Anything specific hit me up with a DM and I'll be happy to look over your book when you are ready!

@Ouryoaie  That is very kind of you! As much as I love my own writing I really do take a lot of pride in being a helpful reviewer as well. I have a few other reviews that I have promised out but I will try to get to yours sometime today or tomorrow!

@Hayley_Kensington  You are welcome! But of course the quality of the work got you there, I had very little to do with it!

No problem, I am sort of feeling it out right now. Getting ready for a big marketing push in a year or so. Publishing game is wild, really got to get in and do the gritty work to build a following. Thank you for your support!
          
          Side note: This has been an interesting literary experience for me. Putting out my old book (I wrote A Mask and A Mirror when I was in high school) and reading yours. Seeing somebody who is standing very near (Ok maybe slightly ahead) of where I was at a similar time in your life. So likewise, if ever I can help, let me know!
