Hello, my fellow battlers! Our own Cathleen Townsend has shared some info on a great resource for writers who wish to submit their work elsewhere.
We want to encourage all battle winners to consider submitting their winning Blog Battles short fiction stories (not serials) to Longshot Island.
If your winning story is part of one that has several parts but adds up to no more than 2,500 words, you should consider taking it to Longshot. Make sure you read the rest of this over on Cathleen’s blog.

Thanks, Cathleen. I am not sure about adding memoir to the list, but if people want to use that on a ‘free’ week, that could work. I could always encourage people to try it. 🙂

Thanks so much for reblogging, Rachael. I’d like to see some of the battlers get published at Longshot Island. 🙂

That would be pretty exciting. It’s the sort of thing a lot of writers are working toward. Such a great goal. 🙂
